PSV coach Schmidt reiterates stance on Liverpool target Malen, Dumfries

PSV manager Roger Schmidt has reiterated that Donyell Malen and Denzel Dumfries will leave the club this summer.

Dumfries has been linked with Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Everton, while Malen is reportedly on the radar of Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool.

Speaking to Algemeen Dagblad, Schmidt said of the pair: "I no longer expect them to return to De Herdgang [PSV's training complex]. It was already clear after last season that they wanted to take a step abroad. I still expect that.

"If there is no transfer, we will look at it again. It will be a challenge in terms of fitness. That goes for Dumfries and Malen, but also for Cody Gakpo.

"They will only join later and will now have to stay fit individually. It would of course be good for us if they are there, then we have more options."
