Marco Reus could sign for FC Barcelona ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal

According to El Mundo Deportivo,  a Spanish nationwide daily sports newspaper, Marco Reus could sign for FC Barcelona ahead of Manchester United and Arsenal.

The newspaper reports that the Spanish giants have a unique advantage that these two English clubs lack. According to the reports, Albert Valentin, a friend of Barcelona’s sporting director, spoke with Reus’ agent in Germany to finalize a deal for goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The club's good relation with the player's representative makes it easy for FC Barcelona to convince Reus. The only problem reported is the German midfielder's commitment towards his present club Borussia Dortmund.

BVB manager Jurgen Klopp has never expressed any desire to sell Reus and wants to keep the player for as long as the player himself wants to play for the club. Reus' contract does not expire until the summer of 2017, which means BVB are not under any pressure to do a deal.

The 25-year-old scored 16 goals in 30 Bundesliga appearances last season and provided 22 assists in all competitions, when Dortmund finished in second place behind Bayern Munich.
