Real Madrid have offered Marco Reus a five-year contract worth 7million euros (£5.4m) a year net which they believe he will accept.
The 25-year-old has a 25m euros (£19.2m) get-out clause in his contract if he leaves at the end of this season and despite Real’s wealth of attacking talent they are confident that the Dortmund attacker will sign in July.
Madrid will lose Sami Khedira on a free transfer at the end of the season so it’s one German international out and one in. Reus will line-up alongside Toni Kroos for his new team but it is difficult to see who Madrid leave out.
With Kroos partnering Luka Modric in midfield and Cristiano Ronaldo one of four attackers ahead of them, the new man would be left to fight with Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Isco and Jese for the remaining three places.
If confirmed the signing will only serve to encourage Manchester United in their pursuit of Bale who Madrid supporters have already suggested they would be behind selling for 150m euros (£115m) this summer.
Reus will almost double his money by moving to Spain. He was earning closer to 4m euros (£3.8m) net a season at Dortmund.
