Real Madrid have Borussia Dortmund's star, Marco Reus, more than under control. To the point that there is an in-depth report into the German international at the Santiago Bernabéu. It is the result of extensive scouting over the course of the past three years. The results of the report on Reus place the German in a privileged position on the club's list of future transfer targets.

Reus scored highly and left no doubts that the German is good enough to play at Real Madrid. "His leadership and skill are impressive"; "He can play in any attacking position"; "He has an amazing shot and eye for goal"; and "He's ready to take the step up to a big club" are just some of the conclusions drawn in the 'Reus report'.

Real Madrid have taken full advantage of their great relationship with Reus' agents, who are also Toni Kroos' agents. Reus is out of contract in 2016 and next summer would be the perfect time to sit down and negotiate, a year before his Dortmund contract expires. The problem is going to be the competition from Europe's biggest clubs to sign the midfielder.

Following last summer's negotiation to sign former Bayern man Kroos, the Borussia player's name was also put on the table and Real Madrid told 'SportsTotal' that they wished to be kept informed of any negotiations that might begin with the German international.
