"AS Roma have reached an agreement in principle to sign Aston Villa forward Donyell Malen on loan, with a conditional obligation to buy for around 25 million, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. The structure of the deal has been approved by all parties, with only final formalities remaining. The 26-year-old Netherlands international has made it clear that he wants the move, driven by a desire for consistent minutes and a guaranteed role as a central striker."
"Jacobs also reports that Atletico Madrid registered interest, enquiring about Malen's situation in recent days. While the Spanish side admire his versatility and explosiveness, Roma acted decisively and secured priority in negotiations. Atletico are expected to keep searching for attacking reinforcements as they prepare to reshape their squad ahead of the summer window. Meanwhile, Aston Villa remain active in the striker market. Tammy Abraham is on their radar with Villa extensively searching for a new attacker."
