Reus return to Dortmund? BVB chief drops a big hint | OneFootball

Even after his move to MLS, Marco Reus apparently remains closely connected to Borussia Dortmund. BVB chief Carsten Cramer has now spoken about a possible future role for the club icon.

The connection between Borussia Dortmund and Marco Reus apparently remains strong even after his move to MLS. BVB managing director Carsten Cramer has now made it clear that the club is planning with the club icon for the long term — regardless of where the former captain will live in the future.

Speaking on the TOMorrow Business Podcast, Cramer discussed in detail the importance of BVB, as well as Reus’ future. The 36-year-old is currently under contract with LA Galaxy and is winding down his career in the United States. For Dortmund, however, the Reus chapter is far from over.

“We’ve never lost contact. Marco is a Dortmund boy. He has huge appeal — not just for BVB, but for German football as a whole,” Cramer explained on the podcast. There had already been joint activities around the Club World Cup. BVB can therefore well imagine expanding its collaboration with Reus after his career. “We can absolutely imagine continuing to benefit from that, doing a few things together — naturally even more so once he ends his career,” said the managing director.

Whether Reus will actually return to the Ruhr region after his playing career remains open, however. According to Cramer, the former Germany international is currently thinking more “from season to season.” Nevertheless, BVB seems certain that Reus should remain connected to the club in the long term.

“He will continue to work as an ambassador for BVB in the future, completely regardless of whether he will live in the United States or return to the Ruhr region,” Cramer made clear.

In addition to the topic of Reus, the 57-year-old also spoke more generally about the social importance of football. Especially in uncertain times, clubs like Borussia Dortmund are an important emotional anchor for many people. “Church, religion, politics — they are all faltering. Family gives you support. But the black-and-yellow football family also has a strong unifying force,” said Cramer.
