“It seems that his mind is already made up because I tried everything including an increase in wages to make him stay but he said he is leaving for his dream Premier League team, Manchester United” – This is according to the Borrussia Dortmund coach – Manchester United are in luck as their pursuit of a long term £42 million Borussia Dortmund target yields positive results as he to join us next transfer window.
Manchester United’s interest in Borussia Dortmund’s skilled forward, Donyell Malen, has garnered attention in recent weeks.
Although the team has shown progress this season, they continue to explore potential additions to further strengthen the squad, with Malen emerging as a notable option.
According to reports from BILD and TeamTalk, Malen is still very much on United’s radar. Interestingly, the player recently changed his representation to SEG, the same agency that facilitated a previous move to Old Trafford, suggesting a favorable environment for negotiations.
With Erik ten Hag’s established relationship with SEG and Manchester United’s transfer team, the club appears well-positioned to pursue a deal for Malen.
Despite being under contract at Borussia Dortmund, there are no concrete figures regarding a transfer fee at this stage, and Dortmund doesn’t seem to be under pressure to sell.
However, this doesn’t eliminate the possibility of a future transfer, especially given Dortmund’s history of selling key players, including Robert Lewandowski, Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland, and Ousmane Dembele, for the right price. Patience and a calculated approach could see Manchester United secure Malen in the future.
