Donyell Malen has rarely impressed at Borussia Dortmund in the last year and a half. Nevertheless, there is apparently serious interest from another club in the 30 million man. However, it is uncertain whether BVB will let him go in January.
The fact that Borussia Dortmund transferred a whopping 30 million euros to PSV Eindhoven for Donyell Malen in the summer of 2021 must now be seen as a failed investment.
The 23-year-old winger was more convincing than ever in a BVB jersey. Malen’s disappointing record in Dortmund: 55 competitive games, ten goals, nine assists.
To make matters worse, according to media reports, there was also Zoff with the professional’s neighbors.
He had felled numerous trees on his property on the outskirts of Dortmund. In order to prevent further clear-cutting, residents even turned on the local environmental agency.
BVB: change speculation about Donyell Malen
Despite his contract with BVB, which runs until 2026, it is unclear how long Malen will remain in the Ruhr metropolis.
After one and a half extremely bumpy years, the club management is finally expecting a performance explosion from the fifth most expensive newcomer in the club’s history.
Loose rumors of interest from Sevilla FC and Tottenham Hotspur in Malen have already been circulating.
Now the speculation about a change seems to be becoming much more concrete: According to the usually well-informed “Ruhr Nachrichten”, PSV Eindhoven is very interested in getting the “prodigal son” back into the Eredivisie in January.
It is said that the Europa League participant is planning a loan until the end of the season.
Will BVB let Donyell Malen go?
According to the report, however, there has not yet been any contact between the clubs.
In any case, according to “RN”, it should be “unlikely” that BVB will agree to a Malen departure in the middle of the season. The personnel cover on the offensive flanks is too thin.
In addition, there is a “last spark of hope” among those responsible for BVB for a sporting upswing in the problem child in 2023, writes the club-related newspaper.
