Furious Marco Reus speaks on Bundesliga after failed contract bid at Dortmund
He has decided to transfer to Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States.
“It was clear to me that I definitely didn’t want to stay in the Bundesliga. And to be honest, Europe wasn’t an option for me either, because I wanted to do something completely different ‘at the end of my career’,” he told broadcasters Sky in an interview published on Thursday evening.
He said that he wanted the opportunity to be recognized elsewhere, to continue his education and to see a different horizon.
“The contact with LA Galaxy came about very, very early on and I liked the talks straight away,” he said, explaining his move to California.
“Living here isn’t too bad either. That was also a big factor in me being able to quickly visualize the move,” he added.

Dortmund-born Reus left the Bundesliga club this summer after 12 years where he won the German Cup twice. He has signed a contract with LA Galaxy until the end of the 2026 season.
Reus admitted, however, that he will miss the Bundesliga and especially Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park stadium.
“When you had the chance to play in front of 80,000 fans for so long…That’s something you’ll miss forever. No stadium in the world is as loud,” he said.
