-In tomorrow night's final round of the Bundesliga season, Borussia Dortmund veteran Marco Reus will mark his farewell match with the Yellow and Black. According to German media outlet Bild-Zeitung, the club will present Royce with a Rolex watch during the pre-match farewell ceremony in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the team.
Reus is set to leave the club after his 12-year career in yellow and black, and will bid farewell to the fans in front of the South Stand during tomorrow night's league match against Darmstadt. According to Picture Post, in addition to the usual flowers and portrait posters, Dortmund will present Royce with a limited edition luxury Rolex watch before kick-off.
The fans in the South Stand will also be bidding farewell to the legend in their own way as they have prepared a special tifo show. Manager Edin Terzić plans to give Royce his debut in this game, giving him one last chance to make his home debut.
In the future, Reus could return to the club as an ambassador, which is one of the plans of the club's top brass. As for the next step in his career, media reports suggest he could head to the United States or Saudi Arabia, with St. Louis FC, where former Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Bürki plays, reportedly interested.
Before he finally leaves, Reus will also be chasing his great dream of winning the Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund on June 1 at Wembley and crowning his career with the Big Ears Cup.
Also, no decision has been made about the future of another veteran, Mats Hummels. His contract is set to expire this summer, but he won't be making a farewell appearance at Saturday's game.
This game against Darmstadt will be a special occasion, as Royce's farewell will be the center of attention. Fans will bid farewell to the legendary player who has dedicated many years to Borussia Dortmund and witness the final game of his illustrious career.
