Marco Reus is on the brink of embarking on a new journey as the 35-year-old attacker/winger looks set to head to the United States. After concluding his illustrious 12-season career at Borussia Dortmund, where Reus amassed 429 appearances and 170 goals, he is not ready to hang up his boots just yet.
According to Fabrizio Romano, all the pieces are falling into place for Reus to join MLS side Los Angeles Galaxy. Local reports also indicate that Reus would be a Targeted Allocation Money (TAM) signing and not a Designated Player, given that the Galaxy already have three designated players.
Reus has been a long-standing target for the Galaxy, though there have been bureaucratic hurdles regarding his entry into the league, with Charlotte FC holding his “discovery rights.”
