Bayern Munich star Mario Gotze has expressed his desire to reunite with Borussia Dortmund ace and former team-mate Marco Reus and see the 25-year-old join him at the Allianz Arena.
Reus, who is currently under contract with Jurgen Klopp's side until 2017, has heavily been rumored with a Signal Iduna Park exit. Reports go as far as to suggest that the German star is stalling over signing a new deal with die Schwarzgelben in order to force a move, with the English Premier League being his most likely destination.
After it was revealed that Marco Reus has a release clause embedded in his Borussia Dortmund contract that could prise him from Borussia Dortmund for a mere €25m when the new calendar year kicks in, the Bundesliga defending champions have grown keen on making a bid for Marco Reus, and according to Gotze, it would be a dream come true.
"I get along really great with Marco," Gotze stated whilst speaking to German publication Bild. "That's his decision, he must know himself. But I would be really happy if he would come here."

Gotze, who controversially departed Borussia Dortmund for their bitter rivals die Roten back in 2013 on a £32m deal, ironically, weeks before the two sides clashed in the Champions League final in Wembley, was blasted by his former club's supporters for this move. The 22-year-old, however, has defended his transfer, arguing that he makes the decisions in his life.
"It's my life, it's my decision. I get advice, but the final decision about my life is one I always take alone. I have long agonised about it. It was a very, very important decision for me.
"I'm 22-years-old. I cannot do everything right, I need to have the scope to make errors. This is normal, as in real life."
