Marco Reus 'considers bombshell MLS move' after Champions League final next month
Marco Reus is considering a free transfer to MLS after the 2024 Champions League final next month, as St. Louis SC hold 'preliminary talks' with the Borussia Dortmund legend, per reports.
According to The Athletic, the 34-year-old has a wide array of options on the table as he looks set to conclude his career abroad.
