According to AS, Real Madrid had the option to sign Reus last summer but they chose to go for James Rodriguez instead.

Real Madrid are not considering to buy a creative player while the likes of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Luka Modric are at the club.

The reports also claim that the Spanish giants could return with a bid for Reus in the future but it is now likely he will leave for an English club in the upcoming transfer window.

It is understood that United are in pole position to sign the 25-year-old from Dortmund but are set to face stiff competition from Arsenal, who also tried to sign Reus last summer before he got injured.

According to Europe's press, Marco Reus could join Chelsea next season.

Other big clubs such as Real Madrid, Man City, Barcelona, Liverpool and Arsenal are also said to be interested in capturing the services of the Germany forward.

It is understood that this would be his last season at the current Bundesliga club.

It is believed that the 25-year-old will leave BVB and the club could chose to swap him with Andre Schurrle to secure the deal.

This news has got all the Chelsea fans too excited.

It is believed by many that if the Blues sign the classy German, they will dominate at home and abroad.

Reus signed with his former club Borussia Dortmund in January 2012, for a transfer fee of €17.1 million on a five-year deal. He scored 32 goals in 67 appearances for BVB.
