    US club celebrates transfer of “world-class player” Reus

    Marco Reus plays for Borussia Dortmund for twelve years. Because his contract is not extended, a new employer is needed. It can be found in the USA. The 35-year-old signs at Los Angeles Galaxy, where big stars ended their career.

    Borussia Dortmund was also prepared. “Marco Goes To Hollywood”, BVB sent this message around the world with a pretty picture on Thursday afternoon – because it was finally official: the eternal Dortmund Marco Reus changes to Los Angeles, La Galaxy now made the transfer after weeks of rumors . And the expectations are huge.

    “Marco Reus is a world-class player who has recognized himself at the highest level of sport,” said Galaxy's general manager Will Kuntz. Head Coach Greg Vanney is looking forward to a “winner and leader”. Reus himself was presented to the followers in a short video, under California sun, he greets in English: “I am ready, Galaxy fans. Are you too?”

    You are used to stars in Los Angeles, especially stars in career autumn. The names of the predecessors could hardly be larger. David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Steven Gerrard were already lacing up their soccer shoes in the shadow of the famous Hollywood lettering.

    From the Ruhrpott to the glittering world

    So now Reus, who chooses the maximum contrast program in the Ruhrpott after twelve years. His contract ended in Dortmund in summer, so he comes to the USA as a “Free Agent” and receives a contract for two and a half years until the end of 2026. In the MLS, the season always ends with the calendar year.

    With his experience from well over 500 professional games, Reus is best to help in the title fight immediately. The US record champion is currently at the top in the Western Conference and is expected to take part in the play-offs. A concept with co-plays that could accommodate Reus. After all, he led BVB to the cup victory twice as a long -time captain.

    And maybe the German can still fill an empty column of his vita in this way: he has never won a national championship. It was seven runner -up championships with BVB, the last shell brought the Dortmund 2012 under coach Jürgen Klopp – a year before Reus returned to his youth club from Mönchengladbach.
