Liverpool, under the guidance of Michael Edwards, who now serves as FSG’s CEO of Football, are looking to bolster their squad ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s departure. They see Malen as a potential addition to their attacking lineup. However, Malen is keen on knowing the identity of Liverpool’s new manager before making a decision on his future.
Malen, who spent two years in Arsenal’s youth setup, is also attracting interest from his former club. Arsenal, rumored to be in the market for a forward, see Malen as a viable option. Despite their attacking prowess this season, the Gunners are reportedly considering reinforcements.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has indicated that Arsenal is a serious contender for Malen’s signature. Additionally, the Gunners are also eyeing up a potential move for Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich, further bolstering their interest in Bundesliga talent.
