Bargaining underway for Reus's potential new position at BVB
Marco Reus' Future: Brand Ambassador for Borussia Dortmund or Another Season with LA Galaxy?
Marco Reus, the former Borussia Dortmund (BVB) star, is currently playing for the defending MLS champions, Los Angeles Galaxy. However, his future seems to be divided between the American club and his former German team.
Reus is reportedly in talks with BVB to become a brand ambassador upon the end of his professional football career. This role would involve representing the club at major events such as sponsorship meetings and draws. Carsten Cramer, BVB's managing director, hinted at this possibility in an interview in April, suggesting that Reus was always intended to return to the club in this capacity.
Despite a successful start in MLS, Reus has expressed a strong connection to Dortmund. His contract with the LA Galaxy runs until 2026, with a possible one-year extension. BVB's managing director, Cramer, has hinted that Reus' role as a brand ambassador could begin before the end of his playing career.
Reus won the MLS title in his first season with the LA Galaxy. Despite the team not having a great start this season, Reus' decision about returning to BVB or staying in Los Angeles has not been made public yet.
In an interview with "Sport Bild" after his move, Reus expressed his interest in returning to Borussia Dortmund. If he does decide to return, his role as a brand ambassador could involve representing Dortmund both domestically and internationally, potentially leveraging his presence in the U.S. to grow the club's brand.
The LA Galaxy may extend Reus' contract by another year, giving him more time to decide. Reus, however, is keeping his options open, indicating that he might return to Dortmund or stay in Los Angeles and contribute from afar by promoting the club globally.
Once he retires, Reus is expected to sign an official contract with Borussia Dortmund, becoming a brand ambassador for the club he once called home. The exact details of this role are yet to be confirmed, but it's clear that Reus' future is filled with exciting possibilities.
