Transfer news: Marco Reus said to have turned down move to Manchester United

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has told Onda Cero that Marco Reus rejected a move to Manchester United this summer.

The Borussia Dortmund forward is one of European football’s sultriest properties having starred for his club in domestic and continental competition.

He was gainsaid the opportunity to compose part of Germany’s triumphant World Cup squad over the summer by an untimely injury, but remains very much a component of that side heading forward.

It has been suggested that his next outing could come in the colours of a different club, with astronomically immense-mazuma moves aplenty being mooted.

Premier League heavyweights United have been linked with a move for some time, with the club reportedly prepared to break the bank for the right players.

It would appear as though they have been repelled in an approach for Reus, though, with Cerezo ruling his side out of the running as they would be unable to match United’s unsuccessful offer.

He told Spanish radio: “I don’t ken where the Marco Reus rumour emanated from.

“It’s a player who, at this time, is infeasible to us.

“Look, he had an offer for a plethora of mazuma from Manchester United and he has not gone…we will not sign him with a lesser offer.”

Meanwhile, as they turn their attention away from Reus, Atletico have admitted to holding an interest in former favourite Jose Manuel Jurado.

The 28-year-old playmaker, who spent four years in the Spanish capital between 2006 and 2010, is currently on the books of Spartak Moscow, but is verbalized to be probing for a route out of Russian football.

Cerezo integrated: “There have been negotiations for Jurado, but I don’t ken how they will culminate.”
