Marco Reus signs new four-year deal commits future to Borussia Dortmund


Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal will all have to rethink their summer recruitment plans after Marco Reus confirmed that he has signed a new contract with relegation-threatened Borussia Dortmund until 2019.

Reus' new deal is understood to be worth £6million a year plus £1.5m a year in image rights - equating to around £145,000 a week.
It is an extraordinary step of faith by Reus to commit to Dortmund, who are 16th in Bundlesliga, in danger of relegation and with no prospect of qualifying for the Champions League next season, except in the highly unlikely event that they were to win the trophy this season.
 'I am happy to have extended the contract,' Reus said in a club video interview. 'When I came here (in 2012) I said I wanted to do things. I have the feeling that it's not over even in this situation.'
'We fall together and we win together, It is a decision for life. I did not think about it that long for no reason.'
Now they can expect to receive at least £50m for Reus - and the prospect of at least another season from him.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off. Cesc Fabregas is ruled out for suspension and midfielder Nemanja Matic joins the squad after ban.
