Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus says he is not set for Bayern Munich move

Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus has sought to play down mounting speculation that he is set for a move to Bayern Munich, saying that other people were thinking more about his future than he was.
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason.
The German international, whose contract runs to 2017, has been targeted by Bayern according to reports in the media, with a spell of impressive form marking him out as one of the most promising attacking players in the game.
“At the moment there are a lot of people talking about my future,” Reus said in a statement. “There is a lot of speculation and a lot is being written. So I would like to take this opportunity to say that other people are thinking more about my future than me.”

The Bayern CEO, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, said this week, in the latest of a series of advances, that the club could “potentially be interested” in a player of Reus’s quality.
Rummenigge angered Dortmund officials a few months ago by publicly revealing the player had a €25m (£19.65m) buy-out clause in his contract.
“The only thing that is certain is that we are on our way to Munich to get the points for Dortmund,” said Reus, before their clash with Bayern on Saturday. “Then we will hopefully return with the three points,” he said, adding that their upcoming games in the Champions League and the Bundesliga were all that mattered to him at the moment.
Dortmund are 15th in the table after a bad start to the season, with six defeats in nine games. They do, however, top their Champions League group with maximum points from three games, after victories against Arsenal, Galatasaray and Anderlecht.
