Barça already knows the price of one of its unexpected options to reinforce the left winger

The FC Barcelona is currently in constant search for alternatives to strengthen its offensive line, focusing especially on the front, specifically on the left wing. Although Raphinha is exhibiting a stellar level, having his best season as a Barcelona player so far with a total of 16 goals and 10 assists in 21 matches, the club is looking for a natural player in that position who can bring quality to the team in that area of the field.

The names that are most talked about in the Blaugrana environment are Nico Williams from Athletic Club and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli, two sports attractive options that, however, would represent a significant financial outlay for the Barcelona's finances. Given this situation, it's not surprising that the Catalan team is considering more affordable alternatives to reinforce that position, even considering the option of keeping Raphinha full-time if the search for a natural left winger becomes complicated.

Under this premise, a name has emerged that has been circulating in recent rumors and that could be under consideration by Barcelona for a possible transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window. It's Donyell Malen, a 25-year-old forward currently playing for Borussia Dortmund with a contract until June 30, 2026.

Apparently, the situation of Donyell Malen, who has scored four goals and provided an assist in 17 matches for Borussia Dortmund this season, suggests that the Dutchman could be considering a move for the next summer transfer window, looking for an environment where he can have a more prominent role as a right winger, left winger, or center forward.

The asking price that Borussia Dortmund has set for Donyell Malen

Donyell Malen, who is looking to take a step forward in his career by playing for a larger club, seems to have an established asking price by Borussia Dortmund. As reported by 'Sky Sports', the German club could ask between 25 and 30 million euros for the transfer of the Wieringen native, who cost them around 30 million euros when they signed him from PSV Eindhoven, and currently has a market value of 40 million euros according to 'Transfermarkt'.

Now, besides the price, it has been mentioned that Barcelona is not the only team interested in Donyell Malen, as Arsenal is also considering his signing for the next season. Therefore, the influence that the 'Gunners' could have in this operation cannot be ruled out, which could complicate negotiations for Barça if they decide to make a formal offer for the Dutch forward.
