Arne Slot’s side are keen to bring a Dutch attacker to Anfield to realise his Premier League dream.
Liverpool are edging close towards submitting a bid for Borussia Dortmund and Dutch forward Donyell Malen.
Liverpool's Malen interest

The Dutchman, who previously came through the ranks at Arsenal, has a £34 million release clause that both the Reds and the Gunners are considering activating.
According to caughtoffside, the 25-year-old is believed to favour a return to Arsenal over a move to Liverpool, potentially giving Mikel Arteta’s men the edge if both clubs tussle for his signature.
Malen left North London for PSV Eindhoven in 2018 before leaving the Netherlands to join Dortmund in the Bundesliga, but the forward has intermittently reiterated his dream to play Premier League football.
The report claims that Liverpool view Malen as a potential backup option for Mohamed Salah, adding depth to their attacking options and boosting Arne Slot’s squad after a quiet summer so far despite outgoings.
What comes next?
While a bid has yet to be made for Malen, the next few weeks could be interesting for the Dutchman, who aims to make his mark in the Premier League.
