PSV Eindhoven boss Roger Schmidt has conceded that Liverpool target Donyell Malen is set to leave this summer.
The Dutch forward scored 27 times for the Eredivisie outfit last term and impressed with the Netherlands at Euro 2020.
"That's how it goes in football, especially at PSV, we lose one or two good players every year," Schmidt told Dutch news outlet NOS.
"It has been clear to me for some time that Donyell and Denzel are likely to leave. Actually last summer.
"I also take it into account and if they do stay, that is great.
"But we have to prepare ourselves that we will have to play without both next season."
