Chelsea & Man United target move for 12 G/A Serie A attacker who has revived his career

One of the players who has revived his career this season is attacker Donyell Malen.

The Dutchman has done that by swapping the Premier League for the Italian capital.

After struggling to find his footing at Aston Villa, the 27-year-old Netherlands international has been absolutely electric during his loan spell with Roma.

But just as he looks ready to settle down, interest is increasing from the top clubs in his services.

According to a fresh report from Corriere dello Sport, Premier League heavyweights Chelsea and Manchester United are actively plotting an audacious summer swoop for the reborn forward.

Malen has experienced a turnaround in Serie A

To fully understand the madness currently surrounding Malen, you just have to look at his jaw-dropping numbers.

Since arriving at Roma in the January transfer window, he has completely set Italian football on fire, bagging a massive 11 goals in just 14 appearances.

His sensational form has been a massive boost, directly helping Roma fight to reclaim a highly coveted spot in the Champions League.

Because of this red-hot streak, Roma are fully expected to exercise their option to buy the 27-year-old permanently from Aston Villa. The permanent transfer fee is reportedly set somewhere between €25 million and €30 million.

For an attacker in his absolute prime putting up those kinds of elite numbers, that price tag feels like the bargain of the century.

Chelsea and Man United are both keeping a close eye

Naturally, this has caught the eye of massive European clubs.

Chelsea and Manchester United aren’t the only ones watching, Newcastle United and even Barcelona are heavily monitoring the situation.

The interested Premier League giants recognise that Malen is easily worth double that €25m minimum fee, but Roma’s ownership, the Friedkin Group, have made their stance crystal clear.

They have zero intention of flipping him for a quick profit and are expected to be in the city this week to officially authorise his permanent transfer.

Roma are absolutely determined to keep their new talisman locked down.

From Aston Villa’s perspective, the business is practically already concluded, with manager Unai Emery recently acknowledging that Roma would understandably exercise their buy option given the player’s massive success.

But for Chelsea, Manchester United, and the rest of his elite suitors, this transfer saga might just be beginning.
