**Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City** have started tracking forward **Donyell Malen**, **27 years old**, to assess his signing from **AS Roma**. The Dutch player will be one of the main characters in the upcoming **Premier League transfer market**.

According to Hooligan Soccer, the board of the Italian club has set the departure of the Dutch international at a figure between **€60 and €65 million** (**$69 and $75 million**) while the player shows willingness to return to England.

Donyell Malen's Motivations and the Interest of Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City

The **27-year-old** forward signed a long-term contract with **AS Roma** until **June 30, 2030**, after completing his definitive transfer on **July 1, 2026**. Despite the contractual stability at the Stadio Olimpico, the player seeks to return to the Premier League to improve on his previous modest spell at Aston Villa and secure a better salary.

**Arsenal** has held informal discussions with the player's entourage to gauge his economic demands, recognizing his versatility to play as a reference point or on both wings. Simultaneously, **Chelsea** is gathering technical reports on his performance, while **Manchester City**, under Enzo Maresca's command, keeps the forward among their targets to enhance the attack in space.

AS Roma's Stance on a €60 Million Offer

The board of **AS Roma** maintains a strong position in negotiations due to the validity of the player's contract. The Italian capital club does not intend to part ways with its offensive figure in the middle of the **2026-2027 season** unless it receives a proposal that fully meets its financial demands.

To authorize the transfer in January, **AS Roma** will demand a guaranteed fixed amount of **€60 million**, in addition to performance-related bonuses and a percentage reservation on a future player sale.

Scouts from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City will send analysts to Serie A and UEFA Champions League matches during October and November 2026. Should the informal talks initiated by Arsenal materialize, the Gunners' board plans to present the first formal offer of **€60 million** to AS Roma in the early weeks of December 2026.
