Why LA Galaxy hasn't announced Marco Reus's signing yet: Revealed

The Galaxy needs to free up salary cap space, which is likely the reason holding up an official announcement. However, there are options on the table that allow the Galaxy to free up that space without moving anyone. That being said, the easiest way is to move someone. That decision, on which direction they’re going, either hasn’t been made or is being kept quiet.

But there are scenarios where the Galaxy loses no one and still gets Reus on the team. This is explained by Corner of the Galaxy (h/t Total Galaxy), a reliable outlet that covers the day-to-day of the team residing at Dignity Health Sports Park.

Therefore, we will have to wait to see how LA Galaxy's management frees up salary cap space to finally sign Marco Reus and present him to the fans. Without a doubt, a Galáctico-caliber signing that reminds us of other historic acquisitions by the club.
