Liverpool leading the race for PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen

Liverpool ‘are leading the chase for £25m-rated PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen with Jurgen Klopp viewing the attacker as a replacement for Divock Origi… but Barcelona and Juventus are also keen’

  • Liverpool are reportedly leading the race to sign Donyell Malen this summer
  • The PSV Eindhoven striker is valued at £25m and is likely to leave Holland
  • Jurgen Klopp sees Malen as an ideal replacement for Divock Origi at Anfield 

Liverpool are reportedly leading Barcelona in the race to sign PSV Eindhoven striker Donyell Malen.

The £25m-rated forward spent time at Arsenal as a youngster, but moved to Holland in 2017 and has been in scintillating form this season with 17 goals in 29 league appearances.

Barcelona and Juventus are also believed to be keen in signing Malen, but according to Voetbal International it is Liverpool who are in pole position to secure the services of the Dutchman, who Jurgen Klopp sees as a replacement for Divock Origi.

Jurgen Klopp is keen on signing the player who has also attracted attention from Barcelona

Origi has made just six starts in all competitions for the Reds this season and it is expected that he will depart Anfield this summer, having joined Liverpool in 2014.

PSV face an extremely difficult financial situation as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, finding themselves in a position where sales at the end of the season may be a necessity.

Malen could be available for £25m, and at just 22 years old he will be an exciting prospect for whatever club manages to tie him down.

Liverpool will be looking to bolster their attacking options this summer, having scored just 11 goals in their last 10 matches in all competitions.

The dynamic front three of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have failed to hit the heights of recent seasons, and Klopp will be looking to find a solution to Liverpool’s struggles in front of goal to ensure a more successful campaign next year.

The Reds have also been linked with a defensive signing, as Ibrahima Konata continues to be reported as a target for Liverpool.

It would require a £40m bid to trigger the player’s buy-out clause, but Klopp’s side look set to do just that when the season comes to an end.
