Man City confident of beating Real Madrid & Bayern to Reus signature

Europe's elite clubs will be busy batting their eyelashes at Marco Reus from now until the summer, though the Daily Star reported Manchester City are confident about landing the Borussia Dortmund star over the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Reus, 25, is thought to have a 25-million-euro release clause that activates at the end of the season, and the Star stated City boss Manuel Pellegrini is lining up a bumper 200,000-pound-a-week contract offer to tempt Reus into moving to Manchester.
