what happened?

It was reported this week that the Premier League side had reached a verbal agreement with Reina over a loan move.
The Focens are also reportedly considering signing Nuno Tavares, who is currently on loan at Forest from Arsenal.
Did you know that?
Reina has been linked with a move away from Dortmund for some time as he has had limited playing time in Germany this season.
He has only started one of his 10 Bundesliga appearances, and the loan signing of Jadon Sancho could reduce his playing time further.
What’s next for Reina?
Reina wants to sort out his future and compete for a place in his next club’s starting lineup in order to secure a spot in the USMNT squad for the Copa America, which will be held in his home country in the summer.
