When Real Madrid made the decision to acquire Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund over the summer, they executed a transfer strategy that was nothing short of a strike. The Englishman is enjoying an outstanding season while wearing the Royal White shirt, and many people believe that he is one of the leading candidates to bring home the Ballon d’Or in the near future. On the other hand, another player from the German club has been strongly encouraged to relocate to the capital of Spain when the opportunity presents itself.
No one can deny the fact that Borussia Dortmund has a keen eye for talent. In addition, Donyell Malen is a player who is now enjoying a successful season at Signal Iduna Park the correct way.
The player, who is now 25 years old, signed with Borussia Dortmund in 2021, and despite having a rough beginning to his life in Germany, he has now found his footing. Therefore far in the 2023/24 season, Malen has made 32 appearances, during which he has scored 13 goals and contributed four assists, as stated by the statistics published by Transfermarkt.
However, despite being a member of Arsenal’s youth program, he never played for the senior team of the Premier League club. As a result of this, rumors have begun to circulate about him returning to Arsenal. Malen, on the other hand, has been strongly encouraged to sign with Real Madrid by a participant who had played for the Spanish club.
Former Arsenal player told to join Real Madrid
Rafael van der Vaart played a couple of seasons for Real Madrid before moving to Tottenham Hotspur. As reported by HITC, he said on Rondo about Malen:
“(Malen is) an amazing player.
“But if you want to become Mbappe, you have to show it every match.
“I wonder; does he get the most out of (his talent)? Dortmund is a good club, but not Real Madrid. I think he should go there.”
Without a shadow of a doubt, Malen has unparalleled potential. But at the same time, it is difficult to see him playing for Real Madrid in the future.
Malen plays on the wings, and Real Madrid already has choices that are of world-class quality in that position, with further players who are anticipated to join in the summer. Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz, and Federico Valverde are all capable of playing on the flanks, in addition to Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo, who are both outstanding when it comes to playing on the wing.
Furthermore, when the rumored acquisition of Kylian Mbappe in the summer is taken into consideration, it is possible that Real Madrid will have a multitude of choices available on the flanks. The current lineup that Carlo Ancelotti is using does not even make use of conventional wingers, which is rather amusing. Therefore, taking everything into consideration, it would be surprising if the club attempted to sign Malen.
