- In the summer, BVB legend Marco Reus moved from the Bundesliga to Major League Soccer.
- Finding a place to live in Los Angeles turned out to be more complicated than expected. In a podcast, Marco Reus and his wife Scarlett say that they almost ended up in a "horror house".
- The family has since found a suitable apartment. And things are also going well in sport: Marco Reus is in the play-off quarter-finals with LA Galaxy.
In August, Marco Reus, the former Borussia Dortmund international, moved to Major League Soccer with LA Galaxy. Together with his wife, he began looking for a new home in Los Angeles. After numerous viewings, they chose a house that quickly became a nightmare, as "eurosport.de" writes with reference to the "Paul Ripke Podcast".
Drug dealers, money launderers and a murder
During the viewing, they were warned by the neighbors that it was the only "horror house" in the area. Visible damage such as a kicked-in garage door and broken windows did not bode well. But the stories they heard were even more disturbing.
One neighbor reported that the previous tenant had been a drug dealer and that the FBI had already investigated the house several times. "Someone was even murdered outside the house, and then five men moved in who were laundering money," Marco Reus said. His wife Scarlett added that twelve FBI agents had recently stormed the house and arrested the residents.
In light of this disturbing information, the couple decided not to rent the house. Instead, they found a new home in Newport, about a 40-minute drive from Reus' new place of work.
Things are going well in sport
Marco Reus reached the play-off quarter-finals with Los Angeles Galaxy. Reus himself came on as a substitute with around 25 minutes remaining in both the 5:0 home win and the 4:1 away win against the Colorado Rapids in the round of 16, but failed to score. LA Galaxy will face Minnesota United in the quarter-finals. By contrast, the season is already over for Lionel Messi, who was eliminated in the first play-off round after a strong qualifying campaign with Inter Miami.
