The Los Angeles Galaxy welcomed Marco Reus as their new midfielder with an introductory press conference at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson. Reus, a former player with Borussia Dortmund in the German Bundesliga, signed a 2 ½ year contract with the Galaxy after 12 seasons in Europe. The Galaxy’s pursuit of Reus began with a phone call that led to negotiations and the acquisition of his MLS Discovery Rights from Charlotte FC for $400,000.
Reus, 35, expressed his excitement about joining the Galaxy and is focused on helping the team win championships. He participated in his first team training session and is ready to start playing as soon as his Visa process is completed. Coach Greg Vanney praised Reus for his work rate, leadership qualities, and decision-making on the field, highlighting the importance of having an experienced player like Reus in the squad.
The Galaxy will have tough decisions to make when selecting their starting eleven, but Vanney is confident that Reus will bring a valuable dimension to the team both on and off the field. With Reus’ arrival, the Galaxy are hoping to strengthen their attacking options and compete at a high level in MLS. Reus is looking forward to the new challenge in the MLS and is eager to contribute to the team’s success.
