I am very happy with my decision for Borussia Dortmund. 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.”
Earlier this week, Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp voiced his commitment to the club, which could have aided in Reus’ decision to stay. Klopp has the utmost respect of his players, and it seems they back him fully, despite their terrible record in the Bundesliga.
This is a big signing for Dortmund, as Reus is a massive piece of both its present and future.
