Marco Reus is reportedly contemplating a transfer to Major League Soccer (MLS) at the conclusion of the season, as disclosed by former French footballer Samir Nasri on Canal+.

Nasri suggested that a potential move to the MLS is being considered, and discussions have already commenced. However, no particular clubs were mentioned.

Reus and Dortmund are yet to complete two Bundesliga fixtures against Mainz and Darmstadt, as well as the upcoming Champions League final at Wembley Stadium.

On May 3, Borussia Dortmund announced that the club and Reus had jointly decided not to extend his contract beyond the current season."I’m incredibly grateful for and proud of this special time at my club Borussia Dortmund. 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. I already know now that I will find it difficult to say goodbye at the end of the season," Reus said.

Dortmund progressed to the Champions League final on Tuesday, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on aggregate.

The Bundesliga club last reached the CL final in 2013, where they were defeated 2-1 by Bayern Munich.

This marked the first instance in the competition's history where two German teams contested the final. Another Der Klassiker in the final seems likely, as Bayern Munich are level on aggregate with Real Madrid.
