Arsenal did not think that Donyell Malen could become a success at the Gunners, but he could soon be playing for Real Madrid.
That is according to TEAMtalk, which has noted how much Borussia Dortmund want for the former Arsenal forward.
So, what has been reported about Arsenal and Donyell Malen? Let’s take a look.
Real Madrid serious about former Arsenal forward Donyell Malen
Well, according to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid are interested in signing former Arsenal forward Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund.
The report has claimed that Madrid have taken “a closer look” at the forward “in recent weeks” and have been impressed with Malen. Carlo Ancelotti’s side are “seriously considering him to come in and help the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo at the Santiago Bernabeu next season”.
TEAMtalk has noted that Arsenal sold Malen to PSV in 2017 for just £500,000. He was a teenager then. The forward is 24 now and is valued at £60 million by Dortmund, who paid £25 million for him in 2021. Liverpool have also been linked with the very fast player.
