Should Jadon Sancho’s return to Borussia Dortmund take place, this could also have an impact on personnel planning in the coming weeks. Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool FC are said to have targeted a BVB offensive player.
We’re talking about the Dutchman Donyell Malen, who has been considered a candidate for departure from the Black and Yellows for a few weeks now.
While there have recently been rumors of interest from Sancho’s current employer Manchester United, the club-affiliated “Ruhr Nachrichten” is now reporting on a loose inquiry from Liverpool for the 24-year-old winger. The transfer speculation surrounding Malen could pick up speed again if the Sancho transfer succeeds.
Because: For the dribbler, who was once again unstable in terms of performance in the first half of the season, the air would become thinner in the fight for the regular places.
Even after two and a half years at BVB, Malen is said to have not yet really settled in with Dortmund and the team. In addition, the professional is said to dislike the tactical plan that coach Edin Terzic has for him.
BVB: A whopping million-dollar fee for Donyell Malen?
The BVB bosses, on the other hand, are not averse to Malen’s departure, knowing full well that he could bring a considerable fee into their coffers. There was recently talk of around 35 million euros. Malen’s current market value is estimated at exactly this amount.
In 2021, BVB “only” transferred 30 million euros to PSV Eindhoven for him. There may even be a small transfer bonus.
Malen would not leave an extreme sporting gap at Borussia. 41 goal participations in 96 competitive games is a decent rate. However, the 28-time Elftal international player repeatedly sank into weeks of poor form.
Painting is generally not a player who carries others along when things aren’t going well.
This is not the first time he has been traded at Liverpool FC. There were already reports last summer and autumn that the Klopp club was interested in the BVB star.
