Dortmund start negotiations with PSV’s Malen amid Liverpool links

are looking to find a replacement for Jadon Sancho, who joined Manchester United on a £72.6 million deal earlier this month. The German giants are eyeing PSV’s

for a potential summer transfer, but a deal for the Netherlands international has proved to be more expensive than anticipated.

According to

, there is a gap between the two clubs’ valuation of Malen. PSV demand a €30 million fee for the player, while Dortmund are willing to spend much less for the 22-year-old. On the other hand,

have emerged as a new suitor for the player, which would further complicate the situation for Dortmund. The Reds are reportedly keen to offload four of their first-team players in their effort to sign the former Arsenal forward.

Dortmund’s sporting director

Michael Zorc

confirmed on Saturday that there is a high probability that Dortmund will sign a new player this summer. Malen remains Dortmund’s main candidate to replace Sancho, but the Germans might shift their attention toward new candidates if they fail to sign the PSV forward.
