It was a special day for Donyell Malen. On February 23rd, the Roma forward became a father for the fourth time. After three sons, the Dutch international, currently with the national team, joyfully welcomed his first daughter. His wife, Delisha, announced the happy news via a heartwarming Instagram post, featuring several photos. She wrote: ‘Our boys are lucky to have a little sister. Your dad is the proudest dad ever.’
Donyell Malen has proven to be one of the few consistent performers for Roma since the start of 2026. The Dutch attacker, who joined in the winter transfer window, made an immediate impact, scoring 8 goals in approximately two months. These impressive figures have rapidly reshaped the team’s offensive hierarchy and convinced the club to plan for his long-term future with the Giallorossi. It has been reported that the club intends to finalize his permanent transfer from Aston Villa ahead of schedule. The initial agreement between the clubs included specific conditions for an automatic buy-out: qualification for at least the Europa League and reaching 50% of seasonal appearances. These targets are now within reach, with the latter possibly being met in the upcoming match against Inter. However, Roma’s management is eager to act promptly and is working to accelerate the process, recognizing the attacker’s significant contribution.
