Borussia Dortmund, 5/2 chances with Coal to win their Champions League last 16 first leg away at Juventus, have been bolstered by the news that star forward Marco Reus has extended his contract with the club until the summer of 2019.
This comes in spite of Jurgen Klopp’s team occupying a spot in the Bundesliga’s bottom three after a nightmarish first half of their domestic campaign. Dortmund’s dearth in German football comes in stark contrast to their European adventure, however, where they lost just once en route to reaching the knockout phase of the Champions League.
By committing his future to the side whose academy he spent a decade in (1996-2006), Reus appears to be rejecting overtures from Real Madrid. Los Blancos have been strongly and consistently linked with a swoop for him.
In recent years, the likes of compatriot quartet Christoph Metzelder, Mesut Ozil, Sami Khedira and Toni Kroos have all played for the Bernabeu outfit, but it seems Reus prefers his hometown team. He even said as much.
“I am very happy with my decision for Borussia Dortmund,” said Reus. “Dortmund is my hometown and Borussia is simply my club. I look forward to a successful future with our team and our fantastic fans behind us. There is plenty to do and I want to really get stuck in.”
