Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke is buoyed by Reus's decision to stay and believes the midfielder can have a long-term impact at the German club similar to that of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool."We never trusted those transfer rumours," said Watzke, "and we always believed in our good chance that this extraordinary player will explicitly decide to commit his future to BVB.
"Marco can be the key player of an era, like Uwe Seeler was at Hamburg or Steven Gerrard at Liverpool.
"It is identification with the club at the highest level that he decided to renew his contract in the midst of a footballing crisis. We are very proud of it."
