– Marco Reus is one of the club’s biggest players. He was born in Dortmund and played over ten years in the youth teams at the club and twelve years for the A team. He has also been captain for a long time. His relationship with Borussia Dortmund is very special. We wish Marco all the best for the future. We hope that he will return to BVB after his career is over, says club director Hans-Joachim Watzke.
Dortmund are currently playing in the semi-finals of the Champions League, where the team won the first match at home against Paris Saint-Germain 1-0. The return leg takes place in Paris on Tuesday.

– I am incredibly grateful and proud of my time at Borussia Dortmund. I’ve been here for more than half my life and I’ve enjoyed every single day, although there have been tougher times too. It will be tough to say goodbye, but now I look forward to the upcoming matches for the club, says Reus, who also thanks the supporters for their support over the years.
