Donyell Malen

In May 2026, reports suggested Donyell Malen could be sold for €50 million. His move to Roma from Aston Villa, to be made permanent in summer 2026, was based on a loan fee of around €2 million and a purchase option consistently reported at €25 million, with some sources citing up to €29 million. In January 2026, Aston Villa reportedly demanded €35 million for a permanent sale amid interest from Atlético Madrid and Napoli. At that time, his Transfermarkt value was listed as €25 million. His prior completed transfer was from Borussia Dortmund to Aston Villa in January 2025 for a reported €25 million.

Our valuation for Donyell Malen is anchored by the imminent €25 million permanent transfer to Roma, which sets a clear floor. However, his exceptional performance on loan has reportedly attracted interest from several top clubs, with reports suggesting a potential immediate resale value as high as €50 million. This strong recent form and high-level interest significantly inflate his market value beyond the pre-agreed option fee.
