Transfer deadline day move not in Gio Reyna's best interests as USMNT man's Dortmund future up in the air

The American has been linked with moves to England, Spain, Italy and France
As the winter transfer window is drawing to a close in fewer than 72 hours, there's quite an important player stuck in limbo in Gio Reyna of Borussia Dortmund. The 21-year-old American has struggled for playing time under manager Edin Terzic this season but a move out of Germany hasn't materialized. Linked to clubs such as Nottingham Forest, Sevilla, Marseille and now Fiorentina, destinations seem to be lining up but not ones that are the right place for him to go to long term.
With the Copa America looming this summer for the United States men's national team, a tournament during which Reyna should be a critical member of the team, what he does during this window will not only have a major impact on his future but also potentially for the national team. It seemed like Reyna would be set to leave Dortmund but after their victory over VLF Bochum, the door was left open for Reyna to stay.
"Gio is a fantastic player. Of course, he's not happy when he's not playing," Terzic said after the match. "You could see that Gio is capable of influencing the game from the bench. He was very confident on the ball, managed to create a few dangerous situations, but was a bit unlucky with his finishing in one or two situations.
