Dutch forward offers himself to Barcelona for January or July move

Borussia Dortmund striker Donyell Malen is reportedly looking for a change of scenery and is drawn to the warm climate of the Costa Brava. Malen's contract expires in 2026 and with little sign of a new contract on the horizon, he will leave in January or the summer.

According to Sky DE, Dortmund via Sport are prepared to accept a €20 million offer for Malen. The Dutchman has offered himself to Barcelona for a transfer, while Atletico Madrid have also shown interest in him recently. It seems more likely that the 25-year-old will move in the summer, with Barcelona not planning to move in the winter transfer window unless there is a serious injury.

While Malen may have been of interest to Atletico last summer after they invested heavily in their striker, it would be a surprise if they do so again in 2025. Barcelona could be a more likely option in the summer if they have the resources – wanting an alternative to Robert Lewandowski next season due to his age. So far this season, Malen has 4 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances and remains in the Dutch national team.
