When Borussia Monchengladbach decided to sign a then 20-year old Dortmund flop from a third-league Rot Weiss Ahlen in 2009, there was no euphoria. The fee was agreed on one million euros and the contract was signed for four years with a certain Marco Reus. Soon he discovered his true form in a famous German club and lived his childhood dream when he signed for a boyhood club Dortmund in 2012 for 17 million. But after 12 years, it seems that a dream has come to an end and the old club is calling back. Marco Reus will Leave Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season 😭End of an era 💔 pic.twitter.com/IszmRzAVD1— Football Factly (@FootballFactly) January 17, 2024 Marco Reus is now 34 years old and will be 35 in May, when the season in Bundesliga ends, and his contact with Dortmund with it. With his current status, age, wage and form, there is no indication whatsoever that he will sign a new contract with BVB. He might get a new one, but as a ‘squad player’, meaning that he would be starting games from the bench and come in against inferior opposition. His contract would have to be lower, and he already lowered it to just over six million euros per year. He doesn’t want to go out of Germany, since he just became a father for the second time, but would like to play in Bundesliga. So, a logical solution would be Monchengladbach.It worked once… Even twice… Why not the third time?The other Borussia is revamped and they desperately need a proper experienced leader on the field and in the dressing room and Reus fits the bill. He played 410 games for Dortmund, scored 167 goals and had 124 assists and he was a regular in the Champions League for years. He is still very much liked by Monchengladbach fans and would certainly be a first-team player there. “If Reus wants to go to Gladbach, that would be extremely attractive. The most important thing is that it can be financed. He must not break the salary structure. With his experience, Reus would certainly be good for the club. My favorite player Rocco Reitz could learn a lot from him. Reus is someone who takes advantage of his scoring opportunities in an ice-cold manner – and unfortunately we’re lacking when it comes to converting them” said former world champion with Germany Wolfgang Kleff, who also played for Borussia in his time. It seems that Marco has a team to play for, if he is up to it by June 2024. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7805357##
