Overview
- Multiple outlets report Malen has scored about 20 league goals and roughly 21 goals with three assists in 25 appearances for Roma since his January debut, making him the most prolific scorer across Europe’s top five leagues over that span.
- Roma shifted Malen into a near-exclusive central striking role under Gasperini, and his goals-per-minute improved from one every 149.8 minutes at Aston Villa to about one every 96.7 minutes in Rome.
- His switch to Roma began as a January loan that converted into a reported €25 million permanent transfer after the club qualified for the Champions League.
- Malen continued his hot form into the 2026–27 season, scoring six goals in Roma’s first four Serie A matches to help the club to a perfect start and top spot in the early table.
- Transfer journalists report that Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Malen with Roma said to value him at around £56 million, though any January move remains unconfirmed.
