"We don't want Marco Reus, that market is closed to us and the player belongs to Borussia Dortmund," said Mourinho at a press conference in Dusseldorf ahead of Tuesday's Champions League group stage match against Schalke in Gelsenkirchen."He's a top player, but we have a lot of top players in his position and I have a fantastic relationship with their coach, so there is nothing in that at all." – AFP
