Borussia Dortmund set to seal deal for Donyell Malen
Dortmund in the market
Borussia Dortmund are set to land PSV Eindhoven’s forward Donyell Malen in a deal worth 30 million euros in the coming days as they prepare for life without Jadon Sancho.
The Dutchman, who found the back of the net 19 times last season in 32 appearances for the Dutch side, also featured for the Netherlands at Euro 2020, providing 2 assists.
As per transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Malen has “just signed his contract with Borussia Dortmund”, with official announcement of the deal expected soon.
Donyell Malen has just signed his contract with Borussia Dortmund until June 2026. Done deal and here-we-go confirmed. 🟡⚫️ #BVB #Malen
Paperworks completed between the two clubs. PSV have accepted all clauses included in the deal. Official announcement soon.

To replace Sancho, or Haaland?
It is expected that Malen will join the club to replace Jadon Sancho, who left for Manchester United this summer. However, this seems difficult to believe. According to transfermarkt.co.uk, Malen has played 76 games as a striker for PSV, but just 30 as a winger (22 as a left winger, and eight as a right-winger).
As a result, it seems odd that the Black and Yellow would bring in someone of his profile to fill the boots of Sancho, who spent his entire career on the wing, unless there was another move or a change of system mooted.
Erling Haaland has no agreement on personal terms with any club, as of today. But the real issue to sign Haaland this summer is Borussia Dortmund position. 🇳🇴 #Haaland
BVB insist NO official bid received from Chelsea yet – not even discussing about players included in the deal.

One thing that would make the transfer more clear would be the departure of prodigious talent Erling Haaland, who has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea this summer. However, no bid has yet been received, whilst it is thought it would take an astronomical amount to persaude Dortmund to sell.
Nevertheless, are the German club covering all eventualities in case they do lose their star man?
