    Liverpool's 'interested' in signing the former attacker for Arsenal, according to transfer news

    Prior to the 2024–25 season, Liverpool is reportedly interested in acquiring Borussia Dortmund attacker Donyell Malen, a former attacker for Arsenal.

    As they get ready for a new chapter under Dutch manager Arne Slot, the Reds are now on a preseason tour of the United States.

    After taking over for Jurgen Klopp at the end of the previous campaign, the 45-year-old former Feyenoord manager is anticipated to use this trip to evaluate his present team and pinpoint any areas that might require upgrading.

    Liverpool hasn’t added anyone in the current transfer window, despite losing players like Thiago Alcantara, Adrian, and Joel Matip in the summer.

    Before the transfer deadline of September 2, though, there is still plenty of time for things to change, and a report this past weekend indicates that they might be getting close to signing their first player of the summer.

    Liverpool is planning to acquire Donyell Malen

    The Liverpool Echo claims that Slot’s team is preparing a move for the Dortmund forward, who just got back from Euro 2024 with the Netherlands.

    The report also states that the Reds had waited until after the European Championship to check about the availability of the 25-year-old earlier this summer.

    But now that the continental competition is over, rumours have it that they have made a comeback for the attacker and will make an official bid to recruit him in the next few days.

    According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal is rumoured to be interested in re-signing the gifted forward, thus Liverpool may have competition to win over the Dutch international.

    Malen advanced through the Emirates Stadium’s ranks before securing a 2018 transfer to PSV Eindhoven, one of the biggest teams in the Eredivisie.

    According to the source, both Premier League teams are thinking about activating Malen’s £40 million release clause this summer.

    Malen would rather go back to London than move to Anfield

    As a possible long-term Mohamed Salah replacement, Liverpool is seen to be the front-runners to recruit the 25-year-old, but the report suggests that Malen might prefer to return to London if both English clubs make offers.

    Dortmund’s current contract with the attacker expires in the summer of 2026, and the team is not actively trying to trade him during the current transfer window.

    Malen played for BVB in 27 Bundesliga games last season, netting 13 goals and providing one assist. He was also a vital member of their previous season’s Champions League team, who advanced to the final before losing to Real Madrid.

    In addition, he scored two goals in four appearances for the Netherlands at the European Championship, which helped the team advance to the competition’s semifinal.

    The attacker was signed by the Yellow and Blacks from PSV for approximately £30 million in 2021; hence, should his release clause be fulfilled, the club will recover the majority of its initial investment.

    Donyell Malen

    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.

    Liverpool sends scouts to see the £60 million midfield player against Arsenal. According to sources, Liverpool dispatched scouts to study Alan Varela, a £60 million transfer target, during Porto's Champions League victory over Arsenal last week. Since moving from Boca Juniors in his home Argentina to Portuguese club Porto in August, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder has drawn attention. Leading teams are allegedly keeping an eye on Varela's status in anticipation of a potential transfer at the end of the current campaign. Seven of the Argentine's twenty-eight outings for Porto have come in the Champions League. Porto qualified for the round of sixteen after finishing second behind Barcelona thanks to his assistance in winning four of their six group games. Prior to their second meeting at the Emirates on March 12, Porto leads Arsenal 1-0 from the first leg. A quarterfinal spot is up for grabs. "We achieved a fantastic outcome," Pepe declared. We need to be even more concentrated than we were today because it will be even harder in London. We must be faultless. Galeno's goal was crucial to our hopes of making it to the quarterfinals. We were aware that the game would be difficult. "We put on a great show and won with a great goal, but Arsenal has a lot of quality."

    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.

    Donyell Malen

    At the end of the current campaign, Donyell Malen, a 25-year-old forward for Borussia Dortmund, is reportedly a target for Liverpool.

    Liverpool is reportedly keeping an eye on Donyell Malen and hoping to sign him in the summer, according to a Fichajes report. This season, the 25-year-old Dutchman has tallied ten goals and three assists across all competitions, making him a valuable asset to the attacking group.

    Liverpool would have no trouble spending the €40 million to acquire the dynamic forward. Whether Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund can strike a deal right now will be interesting to see.

    Malen has the ability to play both as a winger and as a center-forward. In the last third, he will offer inventiveness and goals to the side. The attacker would be entering the Premier League at an opportune time, having demonstrated his abilities in the Bundesliga.

    He appears prepared to compete at a greater level as he approaches his prime years. Utility players like Malen might prove to be wise investments if Liverpool wants to reclaim its position as the best team in English football.

    Malen might have trouble getting regular starts.

    The 25-year-old, who is accustomed to playing frequently in the Bundesliga, has been an important member of Borussia Dortmund. But if he goes to the Premier League, that might not be the case. Liverpool may not be able to provide him with consistent playing time because they have other talented attackers at their disposal.

    He might be underneath Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Diogo Jota in the hierarchy. Nevertheless, Salah has been connected to a departure, so it’s unclear what will happen. The Dutchman might not be in a good situation in this case. It will be fascinating to observe if he chooses to wait to act until getting assurances from the first team.

    For a player with his track record of success, the rumoured €40 million asking price seems fair, and if the 25-year-old decides to join Liverpool at the conclusion of the season, he may be able to recoup the investment.

    “I am aware,” says Pep Guardiola, expressing his shock at Liverpool and Arsenal’s title challenge following Man City’s victory.

    "I know," says Pep Guardiola, expressing his shock at Liverpool and Arsenal's title challenge following Man City's victory.

    Man City defeated Everton 2-0, but they are now two points behind Liverpool.

    Liverpool will not be intimidated by Manchester City’s return to full strength in Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne, according to Pep Guardiola.

    Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions for City last season, and the two had a lethal relationship. But Haaland has only recently recovered from an ankle ailment, and De Bruyne missed four months of this year due to a hamstring issue.

    In the team’s 2-0 victory over Everton on Saturday at Etihad Stadium, De Bruyne set Haaland free to score his second goal. After a 3-1 victory over Burnley, Liverpool took back the top spot in the Premier League table, temporarily pushing City to the top of the standings.

    From this point until the campaign’s conclusion, a razor-thin title fight is expected to take place. Despite having a game in hand, City and Arsenal, who destroyed West Ham 6-0, remain two points behind the Reds.

    The return of Guardiola’s main tormentors gives the current champions a significant boost. Still, the Etihad manager downplayed the likelihood that City will now easily win a fourth title in a row.

    He said, “I don’t care,” to talkSPORT. How frightening it is for them is irrelevant to me. since I am aware that some of my coworkers are completely fearless.

    “Yes, we can play well, but even with them, we are stronger. However, you can win games with the help of these players.

    “The first goal is not easy at all, right foot, first contact, and that’s why Erling is – in the box – he’s the best.”

    On Sunday, March 9, Liverpool welcomes City to Anfield. When the two faced off at the Etihad in November, they ended in a 1-1 stalemate

  • ‘The next Alexis Sanchez’ is an Arsenal academy graduate that Liverpool prioritises recruiting, according to a report

    ‘The next Alexis Sanchez’ is an Arsenal academy graduate that Liverpool prioritises recruiting, according to a report

    Donyell MalenThe primary goal for January has been determined by Liverpool, of which Jurgen Klopp is a huge fan.

    Given that Jurgen Klopp is supposedly a huge admirer, Liverpool will want to prioritise signing an Arsenal youth product in January.

    Liverpool concentrated on bolstering their ageing midfield in the summer, with Klopp reconstructing the central positions. Liverpool is ready to move on from that redevelopment, having mostly been satisfied with the outcome.

    Furthermore, as a successful club typically has a well-planned succession plan, Liverpool is getting ready for the key players who will inevitably go in the coming years.

    According to German publication Bild, Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, is a huge admirer of Donyell Malen, the Netherlands forward who is a major target for the Reds despite their embarrassing abundance of attacking talent.

    Malen, who is currently at Borussia Dortmund, began his youth career at Ajax. But in 2015, he signed up for Arsenal’s U18 team. He played a significant role for the academy team and advanced to the first team under Arsene Wenger during the team’s preseason tour of Australia and China in 2017–18.

    But in late August 2017, Malen moved to PSV, knowing that a more well-established route to the senior team was ahead of him. After he moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2021–2022, following five excellent seasons in the Eredivisie, he attracted Jurgen Klopp’s attention at Liverpool.

    Back in 2017, former Ajax youth coach Brian Tevreden likened Malen to Alexis Sanchez, describing the tricky winger as possessing speed and an eye for goal. Malen, who is naturally right-footed and frequently plays on the right wing, may eventually succeed Salah in the starting lineup.

    Malen’s contract with Dortmund expires in June 2026, although Transfermarkt values him at almost £30 million.

    Liverpool and Chelsea are vying to sign an attacking prodigy with a “great future.”

    Francesco Camarda

    There are reports that Francesco Camarda, a young Italian forward with promise, is being watched by Chelsea and Liverpool.

    According to a report from 90 Min, the two Premier League clubs have taken notice of the 15-year-old’s performances. In order to play Fiorentina, the attacker was just called up to the AC Milan first squad, making him the youngest debutant in Serie A and AC Milan history.

    It is hardly surprising that Chelsea and Liverpool are interested in the attacker, who is undoubtedly a gifted player with a bright future ahead of him.

    Both teams have demonstrated a willingness to invest in young, gifted players, and they may be able to develop him into a future star.

    With almost 400 goals in his young career, the 15-year-old is attracting interest from several European teams, including Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund.

    If Chelsea or Liverpool could get him, that would be quite the coup.

    Camarda has the potential to become an important member of the Blues’ squad in the near future, but they still need to add attacking reinforcements. With the addition of Nicolas Jackson, Chelsea has not been able to address their goal-scoring issues, and they will soon need to add another striker.

    Jurgen Klopp may help the 15-year-old become a vital member of the Liverpool team and serve as Darwin Nunez’s perfect temporary replacement.

    Milan is unlikely to let go of the 15-year-old anytime soon, so the English teams would likely need to make a higher offer before they will be persuaded to reconsider.

    Liverpool gives Klopp £164 million to recruit four stars, including the "chosen" Caicedo replacement before the deadline.
    According to reports, Liverpool will give Jurgen Klopp £164 million so he can add up to four players before the transfer deadline.

    Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, and Naby Keita, who all left on free transfers at the end of June, were all replaced by the Reds by signing Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and others earlier in the transfer window.

    Klopp will need to add at least one or two more midfielders this summer due to the unanticipated departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabia.

    Klopp stated yesterday that a bid had been made for Moises Caicedo, a midfielder for Brighton, and other reports indicate that the Seagulls have accepted the offer of about £110 million.

    The Reds were set to make an offer for Caicedo, but the Ecuadorian international has now reportedly stated that he prefers Chelsea to the Reds.

    Romeo Lavia of Southampton is a 19-year-old Belgian international.
    Southampton has asked for £50 million for him, and Liverpool has had multiple offers rejected for him.

    Noussair Mazraoui
    Liverpool will spend €190 million (£164 million) in the final weeks of the transfer window, according to Spanish publication Nacional, in an effort to “please” Klopp.

    The German will be given the “budget” to add up to four new faces before the deadline because he is “not satisfied” with the number of additions he has made so far.

    With the report insisting that they will reach an agreement with the Saints over the next few days, it is understood that their “big priority” is still Lavia at Southampton, who has been “chosen” as the primary replacement for Caicedo.

    They are also “very serious” about Khephren Thuram, a midfielder for Nice who is hoping “to change scenery this year and try his luck at a more ambitious club.”.

    With Donyell Malen of Borussia Dortmund on his radar, Klopp would have plenty of money left over after spending €35m on Thuram to “sign a striker and a right-back.”.

    After scoring 10 goals in 35 games the previous season, Liverpool is prepared to pay “more than” €65 million to bring the Netherlands international to Anfield.

    The right-back option he “likes the most” is Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui, who progressed through Ajax’s youth ranks, and “they hope to get him out of Bayern Munich for about” €30m.

    This summer, Manu Kone has been a player that Liverpool has been interested in, but Roland Virkus, the head of Borussia Monchengladbach, has outlined one condition that they would consider talking.

    Borussia Monchengladbach managing director Roland Virkus has stated that Manu Kone, who is being pursued by Liverpool, will remain at his current club unless a “crazy offer” is made.

    When he was included on Liverpool’s list of candidates this summer, the France U21 international attracted their attention. Three of Jurgen Klopp’s options were set to become free agents at the beginning of the summer, so he was looking to strengthen his engine room.

    The introduction of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai was a part of the restructuring, but the departures of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have necessitated additional business.

    Links appeared to be hampered when Kone sustained a knee injury during France’s U21 European Championships campaign in Georgia and Romania in July. His French teammate Khephren Thuram and Ryan Gravenberch were two other individuals who developed into potential Reds players.

    Kone won’t be leaving BORUSSIA-Park this summer, according to the Gladbach manager, unless a sizable offer is made for the midfielder.
