I now know that it will be tough for me to say goodbye at the end of the season,” he said.
“But I am still happy that there is now clarity and that we can fully focus on the very important remaining matches we have to play. We have a big objective in our sights that we all want to achieve together. To do this, we will need each and every one of our incredible fans, to whom I would like to express my sincere thanks for their unbelievable support over the years,” Reus added via a video published on social media.
