Real still need to replace Di Maria, they lack a great dribbler who can break defences up and free up space for BBC, Rodriguez doesn't seem to be the answer and without Modric they suffer. Someone like Reus could replace Di Maria who was so influential in breaking that bus for them, and apart from Reus the only option away from Barca/Bayern is someone like Hazard who would cost a lot more.

reus would be an upgrade on bale, but like the welshman he struggles against parked buses, anyway, he plays best on the left which is ronaldo's position. Hazard would be perfect on madrid's system as he is good on the counter and possession styles.

Reus would be an upgrade on bale, he will suit real and la liga more than bale. But is it really good business? Reus might be injured half of the season. They don't have a cover for their front 3 except jese and ronaldo is not getting any younger. James can play in wing but still the depth is very bad. Real will probably keep bale for one more season and then sell him. I don't think reus will accept the bench either so real might be forced to sell bale and sign some young forward for cover.
I don't think he'd be that much better, than Bale on RW, but Perez is businessman, for him buying Reus for 25 and selling Bale for 100 (if someone is stupid enough to pay that much) would be a dream. He will sell Bale, replace him with Reus and buy Pogba and then boast how little in reality did Pogba cost.

Not sure if I want this move, he gets injured way too frequently and there's not really a place for him as he'd not want to play the second fiddle

It's often terrible luck though. Defenders keep targeting his ankles like they did to Neymar last season (where he actually got hurt quite a bit) and this season.

Imagine a 4-2-3-1 with Suarez up top, Neymar - Messi - Reus behind him.
Busquets-Rakitic, or Busquets-Mascherano in the 2 behind them?
From MSN to Fantastic Four.
Still Lucho would be hard pressed to find a way to incorporate all 4 of them regularly.

Who needs defense when you can just outscore your opposition?

It would be interesting if we could play Reus (if we would get him, which is unlikely) in a sort of AM with great workrate, in the mold of Di Maria for Real.
So instead of Iniesta? In the 4-3-3?
