In a surprising turn of events, Borussia Dortmund has announced that Marco Reus will be leaving the club at the end of the season. This decision marks the end of a remarkable 12-year journey that Reus has had with the side. Joining the Dortmund academy at a young age, Reus returned to the club in 2012 from Borussia Monchengladbach and has since become a vital part of the team.
Throughout his time at Dortmund, Reus has made 424 appearances, scoring an impressive 168 goals and providing 128 assists. His contributions on the field have solidified his status as a talismanic figure for the club. Reus has been a key player in Dortmund’s success, including winning the DFB-Pokal in 2016-17 and 2020-21, as well as reaching the Champions League final in 2013 under Jurgen Klopp.
Upon hearing the news of his departure, Reus expressed his gratitude for his time at the club, stating, “I’m incredibly grateful for and proud of this special time at my club Borussia Dortmund.” Despite the upcoming farewell, Reus remains focused on the remaining games of the season, emphasizing the importance of achieving their goals as a team. He also took the time to thank the devoted fans for their unwavering support over the years.
As Dortmund prepares for life without Reus, they are faced with the challenge of filling the void left by his departure. The club currently sits fifth in the Bundesliga table and is eyeing success in the Champions League. With crucial games ahead, Dortmund will need to rally together as a team and continue their pursuit of victory without their longstanding midfielder.
As the season draws to a close, Dortmund’s focus remains on the task at hand. The team is set to face Augsburg in the Bundesliga, with their sights set on securing important wins in the final stretch of the season. While saying goodbye to Reus will be a bittersweet moment for the club and its fans, the future holds new opportunities for growth and success. Marco Reus’ departure marks the end of an era at Borussia Dortmund, but it also opens the door for a new chapter in the club’s history.
