Bayern Munich have joined the race to sign Marco Reus from Dortmund. Karl-Heinz Rummenigger is reportedly keeping tabs on the wantaway star.
Reus has a £28million buyout clause in his current contract, and that sort of money is not going to detract the big guns of Europe, and he will be free to leave in the summer.
The 25-year-old attacking midfielder has so far stalled on any new contract which has attracted lots of interest from England. Now Bayern are in the race.
Bayern chairman, Rummenigger, has been talking about the potential move for Reus:
‘If a German international has an exit clause and his contract is running out, Bayern is obliged to think about him’, he told Sport 1.
‘With Marco Reus, his release clause is known.
‘Whether we deal with it, I cannot seriously predict. We’ve talked too little internally about the subject.
‘There are many great clubs from other countries who would be interested in signing Marco Reus.
‘Of course they (Dortmund) will try to extend his contract. But at the end of the day the player will decide what he wants.’
Reus was selected in last year’s ‘UEFA Champions League Team of the Season’ and would surely grace the Premiership if that becomes a reality.
