Official: Marco Reus has signed for LA Galaxy on a deal through the 2026 MLS season

The LA Galaxy’s signing of Marco Reus marks a significant moment for both the player and the club. As a former Borussia Dortmund star and esteemed German international, Reus brings a wealth of experience and skill to the team. His extensive career in top-tier European football, including notable achievements in the Champions League and the FIFA World Cup, underscores his status as a world-class talent.

The agreement, which extends Reus’ contract through 2026 after securing him as a free agent using Targeted Allocation Money (TAM), reflects the Galaxy’s commitment to strengthening their roster with proven talent. The acquisition involved an exchange of funds with Charlotte FC to secure Reus’ Discovery Priority, further emphasizing the strategic moves made by the Galaxy to secure such a prominent player.

Reus’s transition from his longstanding career in Germany to joining the LA Galaxy is a testament to the ambitious project underway at the club. General manager Will Kuntz’s statement regarding Reus’ arrival emphasizes the impact the club anticipates from the addition of a player of Reus’ caliber, especially as the team approaches the critical final stretch of the 2024 MLS season and prepares for future endeavors.

Head coach Greg Vanney’s endorsement of Reus as a proven winner and leader adds to the excitement surrounding the addition of the renowned midfielder. The seamless integration of Reus’ talent and vision for the game into the existing group further underscores the high expectations for his contributions.

Amid the existing attacking firepower of players like Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil, Gabriel Pec, Diego Fagúndez, and Dejan Joveljic, Reus’s arrival adds another dimension to the LA Galaxy’s offensive capabilities. With the team’s impressive standing in the Western Conference table, Reus’s influence on the Galaxy’s performance moving forward is eagerly anticipated. This signing continues the Galaxy’s tradition of attracting top talent from European leagues, aligning with their illustrious history of welcoming stars of the game to Major League Soccer.
