The former Bayern Munich goalkeeper claims that the German international’s decision to join Borussia Dortmund ahead of Bayern Munich is the right one.
Borussia Monchengladbach striker Marco Reus agreed to sign for the reigning German champions at the end of the season for an estimated fee of 17 million Euros. Reus reportedly snubbed the interest from Bayern Munich to join the
Westfalenstadion outfit.
The Foals’ striker has had a sensational season this term and has found the net on 11 occasions thus far in the Bundesliga. The player’s form had attracted a lot of interest across Europe with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 also
showing interest in acquiring him. But the decision was announced earlier this month that Reus will play for Jurgen Klopp’s team in the next campaign.
Bavarian legend, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Kahn, claimed that the forward was right in choosing the Borussians as his next club. The former goalkeeper admitted that he was not surprised with the transfer as he feels that Borussia Dortmund is the
best place for the striker’s development.
He admitted that Jurgen Klopp’s philosophy of attacking football would certainly suit the player’s style of play and he will have the opportunity to play regularly for a big club in the UEFA Champions League.
“Reus’s decision to choose Dortmund over Bayern does not surprise me. The 22-year-old fits perfectly into the Dortmund philosophy, which gives young players the opportunity to play regularly,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Kahn stated that Marco Reus’ decision could also have been influenced by his previous links with the club as he was also born in the city. The former shot stopper stressed that it would have been difficult for the German international
to play regularly in the first team at Allianz Arena considering the world class squad the club has.
“In addition, he was born in Dortmund and has strong links to the club. It would have been idle speculation to say that Reus could cement a regular place at Bayern, but he is likely to do so at Dortmund,” he concluded.
