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.
