Painting before saying goodbye? BVB star is under pressure after criticism of coach!

On December 26, 2024, BVB celebrated a 3-1 win against VfL Wolfsburg, but Donyell's appearance does not remain without criticism in this game. After the game, coach Nuri Şahin was negative about the performance of the 25-year-old attacker. In the first half, Malen convinced, who was judged by Şahin as "outstanding", but in the second half he showed a pale game and hardly appeared. This meant that painting was replaced in the 64th minute after getting a yellow card in the 63rd minute.

In view of the criticism of Malen's performance and the current situation, he will continue to act as a candidate for sales at Borussia Dortmund. His contract runs until 2026, but BVB is open to a transfer next January. Malen switched from PSV Eindhoven to Dortmund in 2021 for around 30 million euros, but expectations of him have not been met in the past. Sports director Sebastian Kehl demanded self -reflection from the players, while Malen's negative development was also criticized in the ongoing competition.

planned transfers and transfer sums

The separation between Malen and Borussia Dortmund seems more and more likely. According to reports, the player plans to leave the club after no suitable offers had been received last summer. According to information, Borussia Dortmund would be ready to have paints pulled with a transfer fee of 35 to 40 million euros, but this sum is currently unrealistic. In the current season Malen scored four goals in 14 games and gave a template that reflects its current form in the team.

Under coach Nuri Şahin Malen often found no place in the starting eleven and reported little motivation. Sales in January could enable BVB to generate income for the obligation of another defender or a defensive midfielder. Those responsible hope to achieve between 25 and 30 million euros by selling painting. Clubs' interest, especially from England, is considered possible, but whether a top club is actually interested in painting in winter remains unclear. Painting could be before the decision to start his dream of the Premier League at a mid-range club, such as 90min.de reported.
