Donyell Malen has made a transfer, transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reports on X. The Borussia Dortmund attacker has hired agent agency SEG. DAZNjournalist Orazio Accomando writes that Malen may be in his last season at Borussia Dortmund.
Malen exchanges the agent’s office of the influential Rafaela Pimenta for SEG. He thus fuels the transfer rumors. According to Accomando, there is a chance that he will leave this winter, but a summer transfer is more likely.
Malen is still in Dortmund until mid-2026. The 24-year-old attacker is in his third season in Germany. He was acquired from PSV for thirty million euros in the summer of 2021.
Since then, Malen has played ninety times for the club. He scored 24 goals and was the scorer 16 times. Last season he narrowly missed out on the championship. On the final day of the Bundesliga, he drew 2-2 with Dortmund at 1. FSV Mainz 05, giving Bayern Munich the upper hand.
This season Malen is once again important for his club. In the Bundesliga he has already scored four goals in twelve matches. However, for the last Champions League match with Newcastle (2-0 win), he was passed over by trainer Edin Terzic. He then expressed his displeasure on social media.
Dortmund fans rallied behind Malen. “Kick Terzic in his ass so he gets fired,” can be read in a response to a post by Malen, which was liked by the Dutchman himself. A few days ago, Malen reportedly made all Dortmund-related photos invisible on his profile.
Internal criticism against Terzic
Although Terzic has the full confidence of the Dortmund club management, he knew BILD earlier this month to report that there are internal doubts about the performance of the 41-year-old coach. BVB has already lost twelve points after twelve rounds in the Bundesliga, which means it occupies fourth place.
