The 34-year-old winger will leave the Bundesliga club at the end of the season.
Marco Reus was on the verge of tears after he scored in front of the Borussia Dortmund fans, just a day after announcing his impending departure.international said: "I’m incredibly grateful for and proud of this special time at my club. I have spent more than half of my life at this club and enjoyed every day, even though there have of course been difficult moments too."
He added: "I already know now that I will find it difficult to say goodbye at the end of the season. And yet I’m happy that there is now clarity and that we can focus fully on the very important final games that we still have to play."Reus, who has lifted the DFB Cup twice with Dortmund, will go down as one of the club's greatest players. He was made captain in 2018 and only passed over the armband ahead of the 2023/24 season.
"We wish Marco all the best for the future from the bottom of our hearts. We also hope he’ll return to Dortmund when he retires, because there’s plenty of exciting roles for him here.” Reus added: “I know the farewell at the end of the season will be tough, but I’m glad there’s now clarity and we can now focus fully on the so important final games."We have a big goal ahead of us that we want to achieve together. We want to get to Wembley.
