Marco Reus and Mats Hummels played together at BVB for nine years. An exciting exchange of messages now follows via Instagram.

An allusion to the Los Angeles Galaxy club, with whom Marco Reus signed a two-year contract a few days ago. But now Mats Hummels was standing in front of the thermal baths in the Upper Bavarian town of 35,000 inhabitants – and not in LA (all news about former BVB stars on RUHR24).

The BVB veteran said of his move to Major League Soccer: “It was clear to me that I definitely did not want to stay in the Bundesliga. And to be honest, Europe was not an option for me either, because I want to do something completely different at the end of my career. Something different in terms of language, something different for the family.”
And further: “Simply to have the opportunity to be noticed somewhere else, to continue your education and to see a different horizon.”
