Gio Reyna, Kevin Paredes among USMNT players to watch in Bundesliga

The 2024-25 German Bundesliga season gets underway on Friday with several U.S. men’s national team players set to kick off their campaigns.

Gio Reyna and Kevin Paredes headline the six American players in the Bundesliga heading into the opening weekend. Reyna is back with Borussia Dortmund after spending the second half of last season with Nottingham Forest.

Paredes had a busy summer with the U.S. Olympic Team in Paris, playing a key role in Marko Mitrovic’s squad.

Joe Scally is the lone American defender in the Bundesliga season as he continues with Borussia Moenchengladbach. Scally remains a likely candidate to start at right back, but could also feature at left back if necessary.

Lennard Maloney and Heidenheim will aim to build off of last season’s impressive eighth-place finish. Maloney has been a consistent performer for Heidenheim in each of the last two seasons in the top-two German divisions.

Jordan Pefok is back at Union Berlin and eager to get back amongst the goals for the club. After being loaned out to Borussia Moenchengladbach last season, the American forward could play a large role for Union Berlin.

Timmy Chandler is the oldest American player in the Bundesliga and likely will remain a veteran leader in the Eintracht Frankfurt squad. The 34-year-old heads into his 11th season with the club.

Here is a look at the USMNT players in the German Bundesliga this season:

Gio Reyna, Borussia Dortmund

The 2024-25 Bundesliga season could be one of two things for American star Gio Reyna; the start of a new chapter with the club, or the final curtain to his time in Dortmund.

Reyna returns to Borussia Dortmund after an uneventful loan spell with Nottingham Forest during the second half of last season. The 21-year-old played just 231 minutes with the English Premier League club over 10 appearances.

Now with former Dortmund player Nuri Sahin at the helm, Reyna will hope to see a larger role this season…
