Donyell Malen, born on 19 January 1999 (age 27), is a Netherlands international who plays mainly on the right wing for Roma. His current market value is around £24m, according to Transfermarkt.
Malen’s senior reputation was built at PSV, where his best league season came in 2020-21. He scored 19 goals in 32 league appearances that year, the sort of return that made him more than just another quick wide player being filed away for later.
At Roma in 2026-27, he has started sharply, with 6 goals in 5 Serie A appearances and one Champions League outing. Across all competitions for the club this season, he has 6 appearances and 6 goals.
He has also remained involved with the Netherlands, making three World Cup appearances this season and 7 in European World Cup qualifying, where he has scored 4 goals.
Malen’s career has moved from productive years at PSV to a prominent role at Roma, with his best work still coming when he is used as a direct, goal-minded wide forward.
