Liverpool have reportedly made contact with long-time Arsenal target Marco Reus over a possible switch to the Premier League this summer.

This report is according to the Metro, who claim the Reds have reignited their interest in the Borussia Dortmund forward.

Brendan Rodgers has brought in quite a number of players this summer for Liverpool, but is yet to make a marquee signing in the caliber of Reus.

After being linked with the 26-year-old German ace all summer – along with Arsenal, reports have emerged that the Anfield outfit are set to finally move in for the attacking forward.

This report has been backed further by popular Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri, ‏who claim via a tweet that the Reds have contacted Dortmund over a transfer for the £47.8million rated star.

Liverpool’s contacts with Reus are true. Still no bid. Reus apparently more keen of Real Madrid,but Liverpool been working intensely on that

Reus has been heavily linked with several elite clubs across Europe including Real Madrid and Barcelona, and will clearly be a marquee signing to any club he eventually decides to join this summer.
