Big news from Major League Soccer this evening as former Germany and Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus signs for LA Galaxy.
The 35-year-old moves to the club that is presently top of the western conference in MLS and determined to secure their first title since 2014.
I have spoken to Reus about the move, which ends his 12-year stint with BVB.
“I want to continue playing but not in Europe,” he said.
“I didn’t want to play for any other European team than Borussia Dortmund.
“We had meetings with LA Galaxy. It sounded really good and I wanted to try a new experience in a different country.
“Then you have to speak with your family. It is never easy but in the end we decided ‘why not’.
“A new experience, a new life, a new city, everything new and now I am here.”
