Borussia Dortmund veteran footballer and captain, Marco Reus will leave after 12 years as an adult and 9 years as a junior player with the side at the end of the season, the club announced on Friday, May 3, 2024.
Both parties agreed Reus’ contract would not be extended, although the 34-year-old wants to keep playing and will not retire. In total, Reus has spent 21 years with Dortmund and was captain of the club from 2018 to 2023.
The two-time Germany player of the year was among the best-attacking talents of his generation, but injury robbed him of a chance at World Cup glory in 2014.
He played 48 games for Germany, scoring 15 goals.
“I’ve dedicated half my life to this club, experienced a lot of ups and downs, but more ups I think,” the Dortmund-born Reus said in a video message.
“The club and I came to the decision not to extend the contract. It made me incredibly proud, I’m incredibly grateful to have played for this club for so many years.”
