Midfield star Marco Reus, 34, has been loyal to Borussia Dortmund since 2012.
Despite the fact that the icon, who was raised in the club, for many years has been connected with bigger teams in bigger leagues, he has remained in yellow and black. Until this summer.
Because on Friday it became official that Reus will leave Dortmund after the season, when his contract expires. The faithful servant does not extend his contract and the decision is taken by consensus.
– I am incredibly grateful for and proud of this special time at my club, Borussia Dortmund. “I have spent more than half of my life at this club and I have enjoyed every day, although of course there have been difficult moments as well,” Reus said in a statement.
– I already know now that it will be difficult to say goodbye at the end of the season. Nevertheless, I am happy that there is now clarity (about the future) and that I can fully focus on the very important games we have left to play. To our incredible fans, I want to express my sincere thanks for all the incredible support over the years.
Club topping Hans-Joachim Watzke:
– Marcus Reus is one of the club’s greatest ever players. We hope he returns to BVB after his playing career, because here there are enough exciting challenges waiting for him then.
Recently, Foot Mercato stated that the 34-year-old is eligible for a return to ex-club Borussia Mönchengladbach, for whom he played between 2009-2012 before moving to Dortmund.
Reus has had a lot of injury problems over the years. He is recorded for a total of 168 goals and 128 assists in 424 games in the Dortmund shirt, and with the club he has won five titles.
The merit list also includes 48 international matches for Germany.
