Real Madrid target Marco Reus has signed a contract extension with Borussia Dortmund closing the door of a possible exit.
The German midfielder’s contract was set to expire in 2017 and included a clause that would allow Los Blancos to sign him for only 30 million euros.
However, Reus has agreed to a new deal that extends his relationship with Dortmund until June 2019. Plus, sources from the club have confirmed there is no buy-out clause included in the contract, so any possible transfer would have to be accepted by the German side directors.
“Dortmund is my city and Borussia is my club. I’m happy to stay and look forward to a successful future with the support of this marvelous fans. There’s much to do, and I want to play my part,” Reus said after announcing his contract extension.
Dortmund Sports Director Michael Zorc confirmed “Reus could have signed for a bigger team, but he has proved his heart beats for his hometown.”
The 25-year-old has scored 70 goals in 169 Bundesliga appearances. Since his return to Dormund for Borussia Monchengladbach in 2012, he has recorded an impressive 34 goals and 25 assists in 72 games.
