Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus has reportedly held talks with St. Louis City SC.

Njabulo Blom's club St. Louis City SC are now reportedly in talks with one of the biggest stars set to compete in the UEFA Champions League final next month. 

This week, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid booked themselves a spot in the Champions League final, which will take place on Saturday, 1 June, at Wembley Stadium in London.

Several storylines are expected to play out that night, one being the fact that it will be Marco Reus' last game as a Dortmund player following confirmation that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season after 12 years at Signal Iduna Park.

There has since been reports linking him with a move to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, with the 34-year-old reportedly unlikely to join another team in Germany.

It is believed, though, Reus could be headed to Major League Soccer, with The Athletic now reporting that the attacker has held preliminary talks with St. Louis over a potential transfer as a free agent.

The report claims negotiations are still at an early stage, but Germany international could have the chance to reunite with his close friend and former BVB teammate Roman Burki, who spent seven years at Dortmund before joining Bradley Carnell's side in 2022.

Earlier this week, former Manchester City and France star Samir Nasri claimed he had a chat with Reus about his future. 

Nasri told Canal Plus: "I talked to Marco Reus. He said he loves football too much to quit right now and will go to MLS next season."
