Bundesliga is one of the most sought-after leagues in history and there were only a few kings to name in the game. Not so long ago, Dortmund was one of these kings. Back then, it had all the odds on their side of the continent, until the German club sold all its best players.

Year after year, there was no mistake for Dortmund to sell players -- even their best ones. Without giving these players their second shots, or fighting for them to stay in the team, Dortmund let go of them without remorse.

Now, the German club has been reported to be in turmoil for not getting the right key players in the team. When star striker Robert Lewandowski left the team last summer to join German champion Bayern Munich, Dortmund suffered a setback. In fact, former Bayern Munich man Lothar Matthaus believed that the team struggled to replicate its old form due to the absence of Lewandowski.

It really seemed like a series of unfortunate events for Dortmund when Marco Reus, Dortmund's last season's best German player, confirmed that he is also set to leave the team.There is no argument about the Kaiser star's stellar performance. While he missed the World Cup due to an injury, he is still considered to be one of the world's best playmakers. As such, there is no question why top European clubs are after his signature since then.

Reus' great performance has made the top clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Barcelona, and etc., tracking him down. According to latest reports, it's the European Champions that won his signature. The Daily Star has reported that a staggering 44 million euro has been the agreed amount of deal made by Real Madrid just to sign up Marco Reus into the team. If Marco Reus is the guy he is reported to be -- top performing playmaker, then a 44 million euro sign-up deal would be just enough.

On the other hand, Manchester United has already a battery of top attacking players. Top on its list are Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney, and Angel Di Maria.
