The club said, “Rois, who was born in Dortmund, has shown rare loyalty by wearing the ‘Black & Yellow’ uniform for 12 years since 2012. Including his youth, he has been with Dortmund for more than 21 years,” adding, “Now, Reus is on a new adventure. “I’m going forward,” he said.

Reus said through the club, "I am grateful and proud of the special time I spent in Dortmund. I have enjoyed every day in Dortmund for more than half of my life. I am grateful to the fans for their support."

Reus, a former member of Dortmund's youth team, is a multi-attacking resource who can play as an attacking midfielder and winger. He joined Dortmund in 2012 and wore the 'hometown team' uniform.

Royce has been a key resource for the team, scoring 168 goals in 424 official games over 12 seasons. In the Bundesliga alone, he has scored 118 goals in 291 games.

Reus, who served as team captain from 2018 to 2013, received various awards wearing a Dortmund uniform, including being selected as 'Bundesliga Player of the Year' three times, 'Bundesliga Best 11' six times, and 'German Player of the Year' twice. 슬롯사이트

Unfortunately, Reus was unable to lift the Bundesliga trophy while playing for Dortmund.

Reus finished second in the Bundesliga seven times at Dortmund, and ended up parting ways with Dortmund without experiencing the joy of becoming a regular league champion.

Now, Reus's final challenge is to win the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League (UCL).

Reus started as an attacking midfielder against Bayern Munich in the 2012-2013 UCL final, but had to be satisfied with second place as the team lost 1-2.

Dortmund won the first leg of the UCL semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and Reus also came on as a substitute in the second half and contributed to the 1-0 win. 토토사이트 순위
