The future of Marco Reus at Borussia Dortmund remains open. There is still no agreement between the captain and BVB on extending his expiring contract.
This is reported by “Sky” reporter Sven Westerschulze via Twitter. Accordingly, BVB made an improved offer in the talks with Reus and the player side also moved towards the club. So far, however, there is no agreement between the parties.
After all, the negotiations should continue. So Reus staying with “his” BVB is anything but impossible. It is said that there is a one-year contract for the veteran in the room.
The 33-year-old had recently made a clear commitment to the black and yellow. “I would like to end my career here,” he said after the 6-1 win in the Bundesliga game against 1. FC Köln before the international break on the “Sky” microphone.
The negotiating partners are currently “in talks,” Reus continued. “Everything else will come up in the coming weeks.”
BVB wants to reduce Marco Reus’ salary
A sticking point in the talks is said to be the question of salary. BVB wants to pay Reus more performance-oriented in the future. There is talk of six instead of twelve million euros per year for the top earner.
In addition, it was originally said that Reus insisted on a two-year contract. However, this now seems to be off the table.
Born in Dortmund, he returned to BVB from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2012. 378 competitive games with 161 goals and 120 assists for the district club are in his vita so far.
However, Reus was also repeatedly absent due to injury. In addition, he is said to have a weakness in big games.
The future of Mats Hummels at BVB is still open. His contract is also up. So far, there have been no concrete talks about an extension.
