Liverpool Eye Borussia Dortmund’s Donyell Malen Amidst €40-€50m Price Tag: An International Talent on Klopp’s Radar
Liverpool are reportedly eyeing Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen, who is seeking a move away from the club with a price tag of €40m-€50m.
Malen, who has 28 senior caps for the Netherlands, has played alongside Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo, and Ryan Gravenberch at the international level.
With 13 goals and five assists in 33 games this season, Malen’s performance on the right flank has garnered interest from Liverpool and Arsenal.

Prolific Scorer with Style Comparable to Salah and Jota
Described as stylistically similar to Mo Salah and Diogo Jota, Malen ranks among the top 1% of wingers/attacking midfielders in Europe for non-penalty goals per 90 minutes.
Liverpool see him as a potential long-term successor to Salah on the right flank, considering his age and prolific scoring record.
Malen’s desire to leave Dortmund could work in Liverpool’s favor, potentially making him a key target for the upcoming transfer window.

Malen Acquisition: Liverpool Eye Reasonable Deal Amidst Transfer Strategy Shifts
The prospect of acquiring Malen for a fee in the £35m-£45m range appears reasonable for Liverpool, given his age and goal-scoring abilities.
The report from journalist Patrick Berger says that,
“Donyell Malen still wants to leave Dortmund. Summer departure expected, as Dortmund are open to sell the attacker (13 goals, 5 assists). Price tag: €40-50m all in. Arsenal and Liverpool are interested. Manchester United is not a hot topic at the moment.”
It remains to be seen if sporting director Michael Edwards will prioritize Malen on Liverpool’s summer transfer wish list, but his potential availability could shape the club’s transfer strategy in the coming months.
