German Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund have reportedly dropped out of the race to sign Liverpool target, Donyell Malen.

The Reds are believed to be looking at the 22-year-old as an additional attacking option this summer and could now see a clear path to the ace. 

Instead, Dortmund are thought to be pursuing a deal for Malen’s club teammate Noni Madueke.

This is according to journalist Constantin Eckner, claiming the Eredivisie club have set their sights elsewhere.

Currently away with The Netherlands at Euro 2020, Malen enjoyed a superb 2020/21 domestic campaign – scoring 27 goals and assisting 10 others in 45 appearances. 

A former Arsenal youngster, the 11-cap Dutchman could reportedly be available for around £26million during this transfer window.

Singing a forward must be a priority for Jurgen Klopp this summer, especially should offers be forthcoming for Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri. 

Despite Mohamed Salah’s continued success, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino fell below their usual levels last term. 

Last summers arrival Diogo Jota made up for the dip in form, but additional options are required. 

Value at £27million and under contract in Holland until 2024 (Transfermarkt), Malen at the mooted £26million would represent an excellent piece of business.
