Christoph Metzelder: 'Real Madrid a good fit for Marco Reus'

Germany legend Christoph Metzelder suggests that Real Madrid would be the perfect fit for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus.

Germany legend Christoph Metzelder has suggested that Real Madrid would be a perfect fit for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marco Reus.

The 25-year-old attacker has long been linked with a move away from Dortmund, with the likes of Manchester United, Barcelona and Carlo Ancelotti's Madrid all being mooted as potential suitors for the player.

"If Reus had to choose between Real and Barcelona, Real would be the easier alternative," Metzelder told German newspaper Bild. "Madrid are more global than Barcelona. Barcelona means Catalunya, they're more insular and prefer their own youth.

"Sure, there is not much space in Real Madrid's attack according to many. But I know that they Real Madrid would push somebody out to accommodate a player like Marco Reus. Just like Angel di Maria had to leave for Toni Kroos.

"Everyone talks about how enrooted in Ruhr that Marco Reus is, but that is no reason to not play in Spain."

Reus and his BVB teammates currently occupy 16th spot in the Bundesliga table.
