"There's nothing new on Reus"

Borussia Dortmund have quashed rumours of a potential move for German international Marco Reus to Real Madrid.

In an interview with popular newspaper 'Bild', Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc said that the club is used to these types of rumours and "there is nothing new" in relation to Reus.

The club's aim is for the player to recover as soon as possible from a ligament injury in his right ankle that he picked up in November. Reus also had to pay a €540,000 fine for driving without a license on six occasions between September 2011 and March 2014.

Zorc said that "it has not been an easy time" for the striker, but believes he is "a naturally positive lad" who will be able to move on.

The sporting director also refused to be drawn into talk of interest from other clubs in centre-back Mats Hümmels and firmly believes the team is not affected by the rumours: "We don't lose any sleep over it".
