Malen joined Dortmund from PSV Eindhoven in the summer of 2021, and has scored 39 goals in 132 appearances for the club.

While he is set to leave Dortmund, former Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka could be on the way to Westfalenstadion in a loan deal from Chelsea.

The Blues reportedly wanted a permanent deal for the midfielder, but their stance has since softened.
