Throughout the course of the season, Marco Reus' future at Borussia Dortmund has been discussed endlessly.
First was the 25-year-old's decision to stall on signing a new contract, sending the rumor mill into overdrive about the German star's future with the struggling club. As a result, numerous clubs were linked with him, including, of course, Bayern Munich, who had already brought in his former teammates Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski, and several of England's biggest sides, namely Chelsea.
The Blues were reportedly looking into the prospect of a Reus-Andre Schurrle swap, and last week, English reports had Jose Mourinho "pushing" the club's board to sign the £20 million attacker to use in an exciting formation alongside Oscar and Eden Hazard.
However, his latest injury--which will see him out until 2015--has definitely cooled speculation for the present. And now, Mourinho has spoken about the London giants' interest in Reus:

Specifically, in a recent press conference, the Portuguese tactician stated:
"We don't want Marco Reus. The market is closed and the player belongs to Borussia [Dortmund]".
[Besides], we [already] have top players in this position. [Moreover, there are] no secrets, [as] I have a fantastic relationship with the Dortmund coach and sporting director."
