OFFICIAL: Malen joins Borussia Dortmund for 30 million euros

Borussia Dortmund have signed Dutch international Donyell Malen from PSV Eindhoven for around 30 million euros. The 22-year-old underwent his medical as part of BVB's training camp in Bad Ragaz (Switzerland) and then signed a contract until 30 June 2026.

Malen was involved in 37 goals last season (27 goals and ten assists) in 45 appearances, and also took part in the Euros. Two goals in 13 appearances is his tally with the Dutch national team in the 2020-21 season.

He completed his first training session on Tuesday before his move to Germany was made official, with the German club releasing a video and confirming his appearance as he had "a permit from PSV". The deal is now confirmed.

"Borussia Dortmund are a top European club that are always fighting at the top of the Bundesliga and have high expectations in the Champions League. I can't wait to be on the pitch with my new teammates to be able to compete with the best. And of course, I'm looking forward to the fans and the stadium that everyone in Europe raves about," said Donyell Malen.

"Donyell is a player with great offensive potential, who poses a real danger in front of goal. He will bring us his creativity and plays at a high tempo", said BVB sporting director, Michael Zorc. 

Sebastian Kehl, head of the licensed player division, added: "Donyell impressed us with his achievements at PSV. He can be used in different systems, be it up front as a lone striker, as one of two strikers or on the wings. The BVB fans can look forward to watching Donyell."
