Aston Villa are in talks with Borussia Dortmund over a potential deal to sign Donyell Malen. Villa have made an offer for the forward worth around €18million (£14.9m, $18.6m) plus add-ons, which falls short of Dortmund’s valuation but negotiations continue between the clubs.

Borussia Dortmund winger Donyell Malen has reportedly agreed personal terms with Aston Villa on a January transfer to the English Premier League club. Dutch magazine Voetbal International and Germany's Bild paper reported the agreement on a multi-year contract on Monday but also said that the clubs must still agree on a transfer fee.

Ruhr Nachrichten reports that Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa are likely to reach an agreement for winger Donyell Malen. Dortmund were demanding between €25-30m for the winger and Villa are desperately trying to get the deal done, so the feel will likely be met. It is possible that the deal will include performance-related bonuses.

Malen has been pursuing a move to the Premier League for some time. It looks like someone might have finally taken the bait.

Aston Villa face a fight to retain the services of Jhon Duran during the January transfer window as interest from PSG is maintained, yet Unai Emery’s side are poised to reinforce their attack.

He joined Dortmund in the summer of 2021 to fill the void left by Jadon Sancho, who made a big-money move to Manchester United. Bagging nine times in 38 appearances in all competitions in his first season in Germany, before striking 10 times the following campaign, Malen then hit a career-best Bundesliga tally of 13 last season.

Aston Villa are one of four Premier League clubs battling it out for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush, according to Martin Blackburn of The Sun. Marmoush has lit up the Bundesliga over the past year and enjoyed a meteoric rise at the Waldstadion.
