- Ambitious Saudi clubs are also vying for his signature
In the high-stakes world of soccer transfers, competition is fierce, and LA Galaxy finds itself in the midst of a bidding war for Borussia Dortmund legend Marco Reus. However, their rivals in this pursuit aren't just other MLS teams – they're Saudi clubs hungry for talent.
Over the past two years, the Saudi Arabian league has surged in popularity, becoming a hotspot for top-tier signings thanks to hefty transfer fees and lucrative salaries. Clubs in the kingdom have attracted both young prospects and seasoned stars, with names like Gabri Veiga, Ngolo Kanté, Neymar, Ruben Neves, Malcom, Aymeric Laporte, and even Cristiano Ronaldo making headlines for their moves to Saudi clubs.
Now, LA Galaxy must contend with this newfound competition as they vie for Reus's signature. Fabrizio Romano's recent revelation about the Galaxy's contract offer to Reus confirms their serious intent. However, Saudi clubs have also entered the fray, presenting tempting offers to the German forward.
"The Los Angeles Galaxy have sent their contract proposal to Marco Reus in order to sign him as a free agent. Galaxy agreed fee for discovery rights with Charlotte, as Tom Bogert called. Reus has also received approaches from Saudi clubs, now advancing in talks with LA Galaxy," tweeted Fabrizio Romano, a respected figure in transfer circles.
