Borussia Dortmund have hit out at Bayern Munich for discussing the possibility of signing Marco Reus.
Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has commented on Marco Reus’ future recently, having said that the Bavarian side will wait to make a move, given that he has a clause in his contract, lowering his asking price to £15m next summer.
Reus, who missed the World Cup with his country due to injury was arguably one of the most in-form wingers in World football last season and gathered a whole host of interest from some of European football’s top clubs.
However, Bayern’s interest has somewhat angered Dortmund officials, whom were helpless from stopping Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski join their Bundesliga rivals in recent seasons.
“Borussia Dortmund must note with a certain annoyance that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is currently bad-mouthing BVB’s internal affairs through the media in the three-day rhythm,” CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said in a statement on the club’s website.
“We are sure that, for every football fan, it is obvious what the intention is behind such statements.
“We assume that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge accepts that he is further damaging the already tense relationship between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. We will continue as we always have, of course, by never giving out our views on contract details of our players publicly.”
