As a left and right winger and center forward, 25-year-old forward Donyell Malen has played for Borussia Dortmund and the Netherlands national side.He has been a mainstay in Germany this season, making over 30 appearances and scoring double-digit goals throughout all competitions.
The Dutch winger, who also played in the Champions League with his former club PSV Eindhoven, has plenty of experience on the European stage, but Borussia Dortmund is planning to sell him in the summer transfer window, according to SportBild.
The Bundesliga club has sold some of the team’s key players in the past. The Bundesliga club has sold promising young talents such as Ousmane Dembele, Jeddon Sancho, Jude Bellingham, and Erling Harland in exchange for a hefty transfer fee.
And with veterans such as Mats Hummels and Marco Reus expected to leave the club this summer when their contracts expire, the club is now considering selling the 25-year-old attacker, who is at the peak of his career, in order to raise the necessary funds to build a new team.
Liverpool, who have been interested in the player since his days at the Eredivisie, and Manchester United, who are looking to further strengthen their attacker corps, may be interested in the player. The newspaper reported that negotiations could be concluded for a fee of 40 million euros.
For Liverpool, it depends on the departure of Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, but the club has a sufficient number of right-handed attackers and is unlikely to make any concrete moves.
Furthermore, he is said to be a favorite of Jurgen Klopp, and with the coach leaving the team, the odds are less than before.
Will the winger, who has achieved results in Holland and Germany, land once again in England, where he spent his academy years…?
