Marco Reus stands for BVB like no other player in the Borussia Dortmund squad: the offensive player has represented his colors over 400 times, been involved in over 290 goals and won the DFB Cup twice with Borussia. However, the 34-year-old’s contract ends in the summer. What will happen next is still far from clear. Now financially strong competition should get into position.
Clubs from Saudi Arabia are said to have kept an eye on Marco Reus from BVB and have even already made contact with the entourage of the 48-time German international. The Spanish portal “fichajes.net” claims to have found this out.
Since Reus’ contract with his home and farm club ends in less than six months, the veteran is free to negotiate with any interested parties.
According to the report, continuing your career away from European football is definitely worth it. It is said that the rumored offers will bring Reus a whopping annual salary of 20 million euros.
Reus farewell to BVB? This is how Terzic and Kehl react
It still doesn’t seem impossible that Reus will remain loyal to BVB for another year, but in this case he would probably have to make significant cuts in his salary. Coach Edin Terzic also emphasized on Thursday that there was no rush to make a decision about the future of the two veterans Reus and Mats Hummels.
“This is not an issue at all for us in the coach’s office or in the dressing room at the moment. There is currently no decision. We will take our time and look at it from all perspectives,” said the 41-year-old before his team’s Bundesliga game on Friday (20 :30 p.m./Sky) against SC Freiburg.
Similar to Terzic, Kehl also thinks little of the speculation about the two BVB legends. “Marco is a fantastic player for Borussia Dortmund – still. We extended with Marco last year, as well as with Mats. We conducted the discussions with great trust. We will now do that again, look each other in the eye when the time comes and see how we can move forward,” the sports director recently explained.
