Until the end of 2026
Marco Reus: Move to the USA is said to be fixed
Former DFB international Marco Reus' move to Major League Soccer (MLS) with Los Angeles Galaxy is official! As the club announced, the 35-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract until the end of the 2026 season.
After his contract with Borussia Dortmund expires, Reus will move to the USA on a free transfer. The attacking player will be officially unveiled this Thursday evening (CEST). Soccer stars David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were also once under contract in Los Angeles. Other stars had already moved to the US league for the late fall of their careers, including Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez from Inter Miami and Olivier Giroud from Los Angeles FC.
"Desire for a new adventure"
"All we can say is: Good luck in California, Marco!", BVB wrote on its website. BVB had not offered Reus a new contract after twelve years. However, the Dortmund native said that he was once again "in the mood for a new adventure".
"We are looking forward to Marco's contribution to LA Galaxy!"
"Marco Reus is a world-class player who has excelled at the highest level, including playing in two Champions League finals for Borussia Dortmund and at the World Cup with the German national team," said Will Kuntz, General Manager of LA Galaxy, adding: "We look forward to Marco's contribution to LA Galaxy as we head into the crucial final phase of the 2024 MLS season and beyond."
Reus played a key role in helping Borussia Dortmund win the DFB Cup in 2017 and 2021. The attacker played 48 games for the German national team, scoring 15 goals. L.A. Galaxy are currently in first place in the Western Conference of Major League Soccer. "He is a proven winner and leader whose talent and vision for the game will fit seamlessly into the group as we prepare to restart the league and make a run to the playoffs," said coach Greg Vanney.
