FC Barcelona is already planning its future in attack and has set its sights on Donyell Malen, the forward from Borussia Dortmund, as both a short-term and long-term investment. With Robert Lewandowski leading the offensive at 35 years old, the Catalan club is seeking alternatives to ensure a seamless transition in the frontline.
Malen, who is under contract with Dortmund until 2026, has caught Barcelona's attention due to his goal-scoring ability and offensive versatility. The German club is willing to negotiate his transfer for a sum close to 20 million euros, which could facilitate the deal. Although the Dutch forward has also been linked with Atlético Madrid, Barcelona seems like a more appealing destination due to the potential offered by Hansi Flick's style of play.
Malen, a cost-effective option
With four goals and two assists this season, Malen continues to be a key player for Borussia Dortmund and the Netherlands national team. At 25 years old, his football maturity and experience in European competitions make him an ideal candidate to lead Barcelona's attack in the coming years.
Although the signing may not materialize in the winter window unless Barcelona faces an emergency in their squad, all signs point to the summer of 2025 as the key moment to define Malen's future. The interest from the Catalan club demonstrates their commitment to rejuvenating their squad with young talents, aiming to solidify a project that blends experience and youth to sustain high-level competitiveness.
