Negotiations between Borussia Dortmund and PSV Eindhoven took a long time. Started at the end of last season, when it became clear that there was no way for Jadon Sancho to stay at Signal Iduna Park, epilogue came two months later.The German media write extensively and the Dutch confirm – in the next 48 hours, Donyell Malen (22) should be presented as a new member of Borussia Dortmund.Will half-a-million-USD-a-week get Harry Kane to Etihad Stadium?Although the paperwork still delays the official presentation of Sancho at Old Trafford and thus the agreed transfer of money to the German club (100 million USD + 12 million USD later through bonuses), there is no longer the slightest dilemma where one of the most talented Dutch footballers continues his career.Liverpool tried to get involved, Barcelona were mentioned for a while, but as the Millionaires did not want to risk it and lose the young offensive player – they fulfilled almost all the conditions set by PSV.As per latest information, the Dutch are receiving 35 million USD in compensation while the details about the bonuses will be clarified during the weekend (bonuses are triggered when and if Malen reaches a certain number of goals and assists).Gini Wijnaldum officially at Parc de PrincesFor now, it is not mentioned – and it would be interesting to see – how much of the whole deal was collected by Mino Raiola, the agent of the Dutch national team player and whether Borussia, as in the case of Erling Haaland, must agree to the “optimal” exit clause after two years.A reminder, next summer – anyone who deposits 88 million USD to the Football Association of Germany will be entitled to Haaland without any negotiations with the German club.The Dortmund expedition travels to Switzerland during the day for their pre-season tour, and manager Marco Rose hopes that he could have the biggest signing of this season at his disposal mid-week.Malen has been playing at a high level for full three years, but during the previous season he pretty much ‘exploded’. He scored 27 goals and recorded 10 assists in 45 matches.
