Contract expiring: Marco Reus keeps Los Angeles future open | OneFootball

Marco Reus is under contract with LA Galaxy until the end of 2026 – but what happens after that is completely open. The former Borussia Dortmund captain has now spoken about his future in the USA, deliberately leaving room for speculation.

“I really like it here and I’m happy to be part of LA Galaxy,” Reus said in an interview with Transfermarkt. The 36-year-old emphasized that he feels comfortable in Los Angeles and is enjoying the new challenge. However, when asked about his contract, which expires at the end of the year, he responded cautiously: “I don’t know what the future holds, I really don’t know.”

About a year and a half ago, after over a decade at BVB, Reus took the step into Major League Soccer. The move to the American metropolis meant a fresh start both professionally and personally. After many injury-plagued years in Dortmund, a new chapter was to begin in California – with less pressure, but still with athletic ambition.

Looking at his fitness, the attacking player is optimistic. “I had a pretty good preseason in terms of my health and I feel great,” said Reus. At the same time, he knows that match practice is crucial: “Playing time is very important to find my rhythm. Maybe I need two or three games, then I should be 100 percent fit.”

In the recent 1-1 draw against New York City FC, Reus led his team onto the field as captain and set up the temporary opening goal. Another sign of the status he enjoys within the team.

Mixed season

However, last season was not without setbacks. Reus missed several games due to injury, finishing with 21 appearances, five goals, and eight assists. Solid numbers – although perhaps a bit more was expected from a European star of his caliber.

Whether Reus will stay in Los Angeles beyond 2026 is currently open. His words sound neither like a farewell nor a clear commitment to an extension. One thing is certain: he feels comfortable – and as long as his health and motivation are right, a longer stay at LA Galaxy is by no means an unrealistic scenario.
