“All we can say is: good luck in California, Marco!” wrote BVB on its website. BVB had not offered Reus a new contract after twelve years. However, the Dortmund native said he was keen on “a new adventure”.
“Marco Reus is a world-class player who has excelled at the highest level, including playing in two Champions League finals for Borussia Dortmund and at the World Cup with the German national team,” said Will Kuntz, General Manager of LA Galaxy, adding: “We look forward to Marco’s contribution to the LA Galaxy as we head into the crucial final stages of the 2024 MLS season and beyond.”
After a weak preseason in 2023, in which LA missed the playoffs, Galaxy is currently one of the title contenders. With Reus as another offensive alternative, the team is aiming to win its first MLS Cup title since 2014. “He is a proven winner and leader whose talent and vision for the game will fit seamlessly into the group as we prepare for the league’s restart and run into the playoffs,” explained coach Greg Vanney.
