Former Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus has joined LA Galaxy, according to ESPN sources. An official announcement detailing the contract is anticipated on Thursday.
The 35-year-old German midfielder concluded his tenure with Dortmund this summer, having been with the club since 2012.
During his time with Dortmund, Reus made 426 appearances, scoring 171 goals across all competitions.
His achievements with the club include winning two German Cups (2017, 2021) and two Supercups (2013, 2019).
Reus has also represented Germany 48 times, scoring 15 goals.
The addition of Reus is expected to bolster the Galaxy’s attack as they lead the MLS Western Conference.
After a disappointing 2023 season, the Galaxy have emerged as strong contenders in 2024, holding the second-highest points total (49) in the league.
With key contributors like Gabriel Pec, Joseph Paintsil, Dejan Joveljic, and Riqui Puig already in place, Reus’s signing is set to enhance the Galaxy’s offensive options as they pursue their first MLS Cup since 2014.
The team, currently on a break following their round-of-32 exit in this year’s Leagues Cup, will resume play on August 24 against Atlanta United FC.
The Galaxy have eight remaining regular-season games before the playoffs.
Before agreeing to terms with LA Galaxy, Reus was rumored to be considering a move to St. Louis City.
