According to Fabrizio Romano, Borussia Dortmund could let Donyell Malen go this month. The Dutchman’s agent switch didn’t stop rumors of a transfer all season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

According to Romano, there is now a “concrete possibility” that he leaves in January. The transfer, though, might not happen until the summer.

Additionally, the transfer of Jadon Sancho to Dortmund has an impact. It is possible that Malen will leave his current club this month if Manchester United’s winger returns to his former one. Additionally, Liverpool may be keeping tabs.

Last month, Bild stated that Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool still had a lot of love for Malen. Their interest in the player, which began before he arrived to Germany, has not waned.

Also for a valid purpose. According to Fbref, Malen scores 0.55 goals per 90 minutes (not counting penalties), which works out to about one goal every other 90 minutes. Of all attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe, only Jude Bellingham has been better in the past year, putting him in the 99th percentile.

Therefоre, Mаlen is аn аttrаctive tаrget in 2024 if Dоrtmund аre оpen tо selling him, аs he is а gоаl threаt by nаture. I fаil tо understаnd hоw Liverpооl cоuld be invоlved with thаt.

There are already a lot of talented forwards on the team, so it’s possible they are interested. Players on offense who would be ahead of Malen in the hierarchy, making it highly improbable that he would overtake them.

We aren’t talking chump change here; Dortmund would sell him on the premise that it also finances a move for Sancho. When it comes to investing big bucks right now, Liverpool should really be focusing on other things.

This is one to look at again in the event of a summer transfer window sale—assuming Malen stays with Dortmund. But this month it’s hard to tell.
