The story is all over the Spanish press but they are all quoting the COPE story. Some mention a denial by Atletico and no comment from Dortmund.
Marca reporting the story as running in other papers, but saying the Marca reporters currently know nothing about it and are trying to get verification.
However as I mentioned in the Di Maria thread, this is quiet time in the Spanish press. All the proper ITK journalists are on holiday.

... is the right reaction.
Was ist los?? This can´t be true! I would imagine that all the teams who could fork out 27m would! So this is a no go for me..
Marco Reus for €17m + €10m over some clauses?
No fecking chance in the bloodiest parts of hell. No.
Just no.
And he would go to Atletico instead of one of the clubs that will pay him top bucks to be their guy? No.
No. No. No.

Sign him and DiMaria, then we are set for 433. 
I've just had a horrible thought about how Atletico could tempt Reus financially and they don't even need a third party. Assuming of course a deal can be struck between Dortmund and Atletico (big if)
If Reus came out of this move owning half his contract or was entitled to every Euro above say €20m on his next transfer, suddenly Atletico becomes a financially attractive destination as well as a reasonable football one - for a couple of years. And if it happens I'm moving into football finance.

It's an interesting way to finance a move, in theory. Has it ever happened before? Could be a real game changer if it became a widespread practice.
And yes, your talents are wasted on here!
Athletico link sounds like pure bollocks.
Honestly not meaning this to be rude as I absolutely love Dortmund, but could somebody explain why its important for them to hold on for a year? are they not denying themselves the opportunity to somewhat choose his club as opposed to a clause being activated for 1/3 of his value? i could perfectly understand if they seriously had a chance at the Bundasliga and the champions league and they wanted to push for it sure, but can anybody see that happening this year without massive further investment into the squad this window?
Reminds me of a situation in basketball whereby teams have certain time frames to challenge for championships by having multiple star players in their prime at the same time, there always comes a point where you need to rebuild. take the 2007-2012 celtics for example, (doc Rivers, Allen, Garnett, Pierce, Rondo)
Dortmund have lost kagawa, lewandoski and Gotze. Gundogan would have been off if he wasn't injured, sahin was already sold but the move didn't work out and now reus has signalled his intent that he wont be staying beyond his current contract which happens to have a clause next summer. should they not take like 50m and bring in a wide array of talent as opposed to probably finishing second in the League anyway and losing him for peanuts next summer?

A version of it gets used in South America to hold onto young players who are looking for a European move. There are some amazingly complicated deals done with players based in Turkey and Eastern Europe - like that Rojo one - some of which lead to the player/his company owning part of his contract.
I don't know if it has happened with any EU players, moving between big clubs though.
I'll take that as a compliment. I think.
Seems a weird one, and difficult to believe to be real too. Still, sad state of affairs if Dortmund are actually actively offloading their great players now purely to stop their biggest rivals taking another one of them.
Hard to see this pulled off, but wouldn't mind seeing him play with La Atleti.
They do have a serious chance at either of them. Despite their horrible run of injuries they reached the CL quarters and nearly knocked out Real. There's no reason they couldn't better that if they have less injuries and their new recruits work out. The league is a different beast as Bayern's squad depth is on another level, but they don't look like they'll be at top form any time soon, so Dortmund have a decent chance there as well.
I'd be surprised if parts of the German press don't report it as well now, because it creates clicks online or maybe even sells a few newspapers. It's still complete nonsense and I won't check any online media site and give them clicks for those blatant lies.Any reports in the German press Balu.. Or is this just Spanish media propelled guff ?
COPE are possibly the most credible source on the planet now. They appear to have been 100% correct with every breaking story they have and they only break a story when a deal is close......
Reus must fancy his chances of an eventual move to Madrid or Barca and is happy to spend a year or two at Atletico to show what he can do before moving on to bigger things
I simply can not believe that we were not in for him and behind the scenes I'm guessing we were told that he fancies a move to Spain

Wanted by Bayern, Real, Barca, Man Utd, Chelsea + More
If Atleti can pull that off.... they deserve him
If Atleti can pull that off.... they deserve him
athletico would not sell to real and barca at least in theory have a transfer ban coming up - plus I cant imagine that either of them wouldnt happily pay 27m now and give him higher wages
this sounds about as true as us supposedly having hummles lined up for 20 million euros
If Athletico buy Reus for the money quoted I will be fecking raging. United should offer £40m, I doubt Dortmund would accept a fee of around 27m. It has to be rubbish but it's broke so fast I'm beginning to question if it is? If I could choose one player for us to buy it's Marco Reus, such a good fooballer. Even hearing stories like this make me want to hunt down that cnut Woodward
This would be really weird.
I wonder if there would be some sort of third party dealing involved like there was when Atleti pulled off the Falcao transfer.

Klopp has said on the press conference that Reus is in the squad for their DFB-Pokal match tomorrow
I had a dig around. Basically all the stories lead back to a reporter called Juan Gato. I've heard his name before but he's not one of the reporters whose name you remember because they are always right.
Looking on the Atletico fan forum, this story apparently kicked off a few days ago.
http://www.colchonero.com/quien_es_juan_gato-itemap-18-142389-1.htm
From the fans descriptions of him it seems he gets some right, he gets others wrong. Let's say he's a Ballague rather than a heavyweight journalist. That doesn't mean he's wrong about this, the heavyweights could be keeping quiet at Atletico's request, or they could still just be on holiday and not getting the right text messages from their ITK pals.
The fact the story has been buzzing in Atletico circles for a few days makes it odd that none of the big papers have picked it up. Unless they thought the rumour was too implausible.

We should nearly want him to go to Atletico, at least he wouldn't be strengthening our rivals.
I've said all summer we should go for him now with a big bid beyond the release clause to head off the rush next summer, if he goes to Atletico it would be one of the most baffling transfers ever.
If there is any chance Reus is available he's at the top of my list of players I want. Especially for the price quoted. But be very surprised if true
If this happens I think I'll go shoot myself. Atletico Madrid can get Reus but we can't...what a world we live in.
Great news for football if he goes there (or stays at Dortmund) instead of the usual oligopolistic suspects.
I will actually lose the will to live if we lose out on Marco to Atletico. Losing out on him to Barca/Madrid is understandable but to Atletico? Jesus Christ.
Am I the only one hoping this rumor is true? We have no chance of signing him whatsoever, atl Madrid is a decent club wih ambition and well at least it wouldn't feel like losing another great player to Barca, Real Madrid, Bayern etc...
That rumour is just pathetic, does anyone really believe this stuff? They could've at least made up a fee that's not completely ridiculous.
Yeah, Dortmund turned down €25m for one year of Lewandowski, but they are willing to miss out on at least one extra year of Reus für €2m + incentives one day after they announced another decent financial profit.. SEEMS LEGIT.
Why would Reus even make such a move, Atletico's situation is worse than Dortmund's. Pathetic story from pathetic media parasites.

I guess Atletico and Dortmund are really chummy after Dortmund beat Real in 2013... sounds legit. It's on!
Reus to Atletico, surely not. Why we have a £200m war-chest just waiting to be spent....hate to say i told ye so.

almost a shame it will never happen because it would be bloody exciting - but still lets be realistic - isnt his buy out clause which becomes active next year about 10 million more than what is being mentioned - and the common consent seems to be that he will go next season because the buyout clause is low for a player of his ability - it makes no sense at all for him to go for less than that this year.

Wtf. Anything under 30 million gbp is a bargain for this fecker.
Atletico are probably a better team than us right now. Can see why he would like to move there, especially when Real and Barca don't need him. I do think this story is a load of bollocks though.
People here are acting like Atleti are some minnow and the Reus would be taking a massive step down. They'd probably be the third best club in the PL if they were in the competition and right there with City and Chelsea if they managed to get Reus.
They'd comfortably beat our current squad.

Maybe Atletico should buy Kagawa and offer Dortmund a trade for Reus, that could work and give some credibility to those rumours.
Don't think anyone said that. Point is that Reus is at a club at a comparable level than Atletico and Dortmund probably can offer more money as well (at least they make significantly more money, so unless Atletico comes up with some 3rd party ownership scheme like they did with Falcao, they'll struggle to offer him a comparable, let alone better, contract than the one Dortmund are offering Reus for a contract extension). There's also no way that Dortmund sell their top attacking player so late in the transfer window without a clear plan to replace him. It'll hurt their season significantly and the rumoured money is nowhere near enough to even think about it.
Reus will either stay or make the step to an elite club, that's pretty obvious at the moment and it's very unlikely (probably impossible) that he leaves before next summer.
Why would he leave Dortmund (his home club) for them? Atletico are in a way similar to Dortmund, but according to the current FML their turnover was less than half of Dortmund's, they have two instead of one of the top3 clubs in their league and they seem even less capable of keeping their stars.
Reus is not some 21 year old from some small club. He's a proven top player from Germany's second biggest club. I'd be very surprised if he leaves for a club that does not have the means to challenge for the CL title every year.
The downside being that Atletico would not sell they would only run the contract down since their would be minimal money for them in selling him. With a 5 year contract he would be 30 years old when the contract ends and his market value will be a lot less.
