Borussia Dortmund attacker Donyell Malen is believed to be a “concrete” option for Liverpool in the summer transfer window, but there is strong competition for his signature.
Jurgen Klopp has assembled arguably the strongest attacking unit in the Reds’ history in recent years, with five superb players at his disposal.
In Mohamed Salah, Liverpool have one of the greatest footballers in the club’s history in their ranks, but Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo are all top-quality individuals in their own right, providing so much ammunition.
For that reason, there isn’t necessarily a massive need for the Reds to add further attacking depth to their squad this summer, but a fresh transfer update suggests they could are still looking for reinforcements in the final third.
Taking to X, Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg claimed that Liverpool are interested in signing Malen this summer, with some of their Premier League rivals also keen:
“News Malen: Been told that ManUtd is not seriously pushing for the 25 y/o winger at this stage! Arsenal, Liverpool and other clubs from the Premier League are more concrete options for him in the summer!
“Malen still wants to leave BVB in summer. Price valuation from all parties involved: €40-50m (£34.2-42.7m) all-in! 13 goals and 5 assists this season in all competitions. Contract valid until 2026.”
