The powers that be at the San Siro must be nursing a heavy dose of regret this morning as Donyell Malen, the Dutch striker they casually overlooked in the January transfer window, continues to deliver a good account of himself in spectacular fashion. Reliable sources from GoalZaza have confirmed that the Rossoneri were presented with a golden opportunity to secure Malen. �s services for a modest fee during the midseason trading period, yet the club. �s decision makers chose to pass on the deal, believing the forward did not fit their immediate plans. In the scheme of things, that calculation has backfired considerably. Malen has since exploded into form for Borussia Dortmund, netting crucial goals and providing the lion. �s share of attacking impetus in their push for European qualification. Meanwhile, Roma have now stepped forward with an obligation trigger in the loan agreement they struck with the Bundesliga side, meaning the Nigerian linked club will pay a fixed sum to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign. For Milan, watching the 25 year old flourish while their own strikers struggle for consistency must feel like a bitter dose of reality. At the end of the day, the club. �s hierarchy chose caution over conviction, and they are now paying the price. The Dutchman. �s clinical finishing and intelligent movement on the pitch have made him one of the most feared attackers in the division, and Roma are reaping the rewards of a deal that could fetch up to. ��6.4 billion based on the agreed. ��4 million obligation fee. Nigerian fans following the Super Eagles closely will note that Malen. �s rise also puts pressure on Victor Osimhen to maintain his own lofty standards, as both players patrol similar areas of the final third. If you are a football supporter sitting in a crowded viewing centre in Surulere or a packed bar in Ikeja, you would surely hear the groans and the sharp hisses of air through clenched teeth as the news spreads. One fan clutching a bottle of Maltina would shake his head and say in flawless Nigerian English,. �Ah, Milan don miss road o. They let that boy go play for Roma and now he is punishing them.. � Another would lean forward, phone in hand, reading the GoalZaza update aloud to his mates, while a chorus of. �Omo, this football business is not for the faint hearted. � would echo through the room. The energy would be thick with a mixture of sympathy and mockery, because Nigerian fans know that in this game, the smallest misstep in the transfer market can cost you everything.
