In a completely unfavourable situation, knocking out the favorite team Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund once again stepped into the Champions League final stage, the last time in the Champions League final, there are very few players still playing for Dortmund, but Reus has been persevering. In his 12-year career at Dortmund, he gave his best time to this hometown team, and he did not change his mind whether he was facing a high salary or a championship. It's just that the story is finally over, and Royce is about to leave.
Borussia Dortmund has announced that they will not renew their contract with Reuss, and the veteran, who is about to turn 35, is also ready to leave, and can compete for the Champions League trophy again before leaving, which is undoubtedly the best result for Reuss, and if he finally wins the Champions League trophy, it will be a happy ending. According to German media sources, Reuss will join the MLS as a free agent after ending his career at Borussia Dortmund and enjoy the last period of his playing career.
Once Dortmund's teenagers have left this team, Reus has become a legendary player in Dortmund history, maybe he does not have a blockbuster championship body, nor too many personal honors, but in the eyes of many Dortmund fans, Reus is the symbol of this team and a legend in the history of the club. Last season they were one step away from the league title, but they lost to Bayern Munich, and this time to reach the final again will be Reuss' best chance, and of course, the last chance.
Reuss' fitness has been excellent this season and has not been affected by too many injuries, making 40 appearances for the team, scoring nine goals and providing six assists. It's just that with the rise of young players, Royce's playing time has declined significantly, especially Brant, who is in competition for position, is younger, occupies more playing time, and has also played a very bright performance.
It would be unfair for Royce to become famous at a young age, but to be riddled with injuries and not win a weighty title until the end of his career. It's just that he doesn't seem to care, otherwise Reus would have chosen to leave Dortmund when faced with offers from top giants like Barcelona and Real Madrid, rather than leaving as a free agent at this stage. Everyone makes their own choices, and Royce is no exception, except that his choices follow his own heart, not his external honor.
