Arsenal and Liverpool are interested: Dortmund will give up their prolific striker.

Donyell Malen can yet be forced out of the team by Jadon Sancho’s outstanding performances for Borussia Dortmund.

A possible trade agreement that would keep the former Manchester United player in Germany might employ the Englishman’s excellent teammate as a makeweight.

Yet, there will be no shortage of suitors for the 25-year-old right-sided striker, according to Edin Terzic’s team.

“Jadon Sancho continues to improve. He most recently scored in matches against Eindhoven and Bremen. The team examined historical information from the archives in order to compare Sancho’s initial Dortmund stats. Then, his workout regimen will be modified,” Christian Falk said in his special Fact Files column.

Sebastian Kehl, the sports director, is overjoyed with Sancho. He wants to speak with Manchester United in May because of this. Another loan is the objective.

“However, a backup plan exists as well: Donyell Malen is presently performing at his highest level since joining Dortmund. There is interest in him from Manchester United. Dortmund would discard him. A trade exchange would be possible.

“Good news for Dortmund: The Dutchman is also attracting interest from Arsenal FC and Liverpool FC.”

Malen has been having an incredible season in the German top division, contributing eight goals in his last seven league appearances.

Is Sancho going back to Manchester United?

Until Sancho issues a very public apology to Erik ten Hag, it appears quite doubtful that he will be able to resume his career at Old Trafford at this point.

However, considering how a return to Germany has rekindled a waning career, the 23-year-old might be happy enough to stay put.

At this point, the only thing that could persuade Sancho to believe differently would be a managerial change in Manchester.

Liverpool wanted the UEFA Champions League draw, exactly as they got it.

The outcome of the UEFA Champions League draw will delight Liverpool. That ought to benefit the Reds.

Indeed, it is true that Liverpool was left out of the UEFA Champions League draw, but that is sort of the idea. The Reds were aware of Atalanta, their quarterfinal opponent in the UEFA Europa League, but they will have been closely monitoring the elite league.

Liverpool’s season was impacted by the draw, even if they aren’t vying for that specific title. But Arsenal and Manchester City, their two challengers for the title, certainly are.

In their quarterfinal matchup, Arsenal faced Bayern Munich, and City faced Real Madrid once more. Two enormous ties, and two very challenging ones.

Liverpool will have been pleased with their outcome because of this.

THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW AND LIVERPOOL 

Given the outcome of the draw, Arsenal and City will devote all of their attention on the two legs. Given that each team is up against a real challenger for the trophy, neither can afford to let up, much less shuffle their squad.

And that causes them to have issues in the Premier League. For example, Arsenal’s matchup with Bayern Munich is against Aston Villa, who are currently in fourth place. It is going to be a nightmare leading their squad for all three.

In between their Real Madrid matches, City plays Luton Town, a match they should win even if they have a subpar team. However, they go to play Tottenham Hotspur in one of their most challenging remaining matchups, three days after the second leg.

Therefore, neither team’s circumstances in the Premier League are “ideal.” If each had faced virtually any other opponent, the situation might have seemed very different. If Liverpool had been drawn together, it is the only way things could have turned out better.

The difference is that Jurgen Klopp will surely give the Premier League more importance than the Europa League, even if the Reds still have a tough assignment ahead of them—beating Atalanta.

Title opponents of Liverpool won’t; instead, they’ll attempt to maintain equilibrium. And that might well result in the mistakes that everyone was seeking to avoid.
