Marco Reus’ contract in Dortmund expires in the summer. His future is still open – but there is probably one less option.
Marco Reus’ return to Borussia Mönchengladbach is apparently off the table. Recently there were rumors that the veteran from Borussia Dortmund could move back to his former club after his contract with the black and yellow expires in the summer. Now Gladbach’s Vice President Rainer Bonhof commented on the personnel.
In the program “Bild Sport” on Welt TV, the 1974 world champion said about a possible return of Reus: “I think we would then work counterproductively. I have great respect for Marco, both as a sport and as a person.” But: “We would then abandon our new path again. We should stay true to our line,” Bonhof continued.
Success in Gladbach
The “Foals” are currently looking for experienced offensive players who could bring more leadership quality to the team. Reus, who would be available for free in the summer and could therefore be financed by Gladbach, is apparently not an option according to Bonhof’s statements. In Dortmund, the 34-year-old has now developed into more of a joker and his chances of getting a regular place continue to decline.
The 34-year-old moved from Ahlen to Gladbach for the 2009/2010 season for one million euros. In three years he scored 41 goals and 28 assists in 109 competitive games before leaving the club for 17.1 million euros and going to Dortmund.
