Donyell Malen is one of the strongest players at Borussia Dortmund: seven of his 15 goals this season came in the new year. Now rumors of a transfer are emerging again about the 25-year-old Dutchman, who is not considered unsaleable at BVB. This emerges from a report by “Sport Bild”. Accordingly, Malen can leave the club next summer for a fee of between 40 million and 50 million euros.
Recently there was talk that Malen was not considering saying goodbye, but that a very lucrative offer could lead to a rethink. Now it is said that he should give BVB financial leeway for a squad change. “Donyell has opened up and seems even more lively and positive. Of course, this mainly depends on his performance. He has had a significant influence on many games recently and is increasingly proving his ability to score goals. We are very happy with his development,” BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl is quoted as saying.

Malen’s market value is 35 million euros, only Julian Brandt and Gregor Kobel are valued higher in the Dortmund squad. The attacker could become the eighth professional in BVB history to leave the club for at least 40 million euros. If necessary, he replaces Henrikh Mkhitaryan in seventh place in the ranking of the most expensive sales. The offensive player moved to Manchester United for 42 million euros in 2016.

The Red Devils were also considered a possible destination for Malen. There was already speculation about his departure this winter, and the TV channel “Sky” said that he was planning to take a corresponding step. Malen changed his consulting agency at the end of November – sometimes an indication of a transfer. After eight years with Mino Raiola and his successor Rafaela Pimenta, Malen, who is tied to Dortmund until 2026, is now represented by the Dutch agency SEG.
At the time, it was speculated that BVB wanted to collect at least 30 million euros in transfer fees – exactly the amount that went to PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2021. In the meantime, Malen was traded as part of a possible swap deal with Jadon Sancho, who ended up returning to BVB on loan from Man United. Liverpool FC is also constantly circulating through the rumor mill and is said to be still monitoring Malen.
