3 possible destinations for Marco Reus in the near future
Over the last few years, we've witnessed the German side Borussia Dortmund hogging the limelight during the course of transfer market, much of which can be attributed to their rise in the last few years. However, the same glare of recognition has cost them dearly, as it has led to some of their prolific players leaving due to interest from bigger clubs from across Europe (and Bayern Munich of course)And rightfully so, a sense of foreboding can be felt among the Dortmund faithful as the future of another valuable player of theirs, Marco Reus, is up in the air. Despite missing out on Germany's World Cup winning campaign due to an injury, the 25-year old still grabbed the headlines with reports linking him with several high-profile European clubs.With a buyout clause worth €35 million getting active at the end of the season, we look at what could be the best possible relocation for Reus, if he decides his future lies away from Dortmund.
#1 Bayern Munich
The relations between Germany's two best teams- Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have strained with time, as some of Klopp's best have ambled over to the Allianz Arena in recent years. As a result, they'll certainly not entertain the prospect of losing another prized asset to their fierce rivals, as it would mean the completion of the transplant of the deadly trio (Lewandowski-Gotze-Reus), which was made in Dortmund.
But talking from a purely footballing perspective, Reus can fit into Guardiola's style of play, smooth as silk. Although Bayern have as many as 8 forwards (Lewandowski, Ribery, Robben, Gotze, Muller, Shaqiri, Pizzaro and Green {out on loan currently}) in their ranks, Reus adds two-footedness, directness, pace, and finishing all at the same time.
Boasting the ability of scoring from distance as well as from inside the penalty area, the former Monchengladbach star is also gifted with a unique combination of being equally lethal as a scorer as well as a provider, which helps add options to the Bayern Munich attack.
Besides, having plied his trade in Germany his entire career, he will not take much time to settle in the squad as he'll be playing alongside his former Dortmund teammates- Gotze and Lewandowski and several of his German team-mates.
If its the trophies that concerns Reus, then Bayern is the place for immediate success.
