Noni Madueke only focused on PSV amid Borussia Dortmund rumours

Noni Madueke is being heavily linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund. But the highly rated winger’s only focus at the moment is playing football.
Borussia Dortmund are considering making a move for PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke as a possible replacement for the departing Jadon Sancho. The 19 year old is considered to be a hot candidate for the Black and Yellows, and his father and agent visited the club’s training ground last week.
Despite rumours heavily linking him with a move to Borussia Dortmund, Madueke is only focused on his football for PSV at the moment. The winger told Voetbal International:
"“I really can’t tell you anything about it (interest from Borussia Dortmund). I’m a PSV footballer and I’m enjoying playing football at the moment. That’s all really.”“I don’t want to say anything about them when I play for PSV. That’s not respectful to the club and the fans who I love. I want to play games, that’s the most important thing for my development at the moment. If I play it’s good, so that’s where my focus lies. But of course the coach makes the decisions.”"
It was reported earlier this week that PSV want to keep Madueke, and will only part ways with him this summer if they receive a mega offer. The England U-21s international is coming off an impressive breakthrough campaign, and it is easy to see why Borussia Dortmund are interested in signing him. Madueke said in May that it is an honour to be linked with a club like Borussia Dortmund.
Madueke’s PSV Eindhoven teammate Donyell Malen is thought to be Borussia Dortmund’s top target to replace Jadon Sancho. Malen is set to leave the Dutch giants this summer, and has already been given permission to talk to other clubs regarding a potential transfer. Liverpool are also said to be interested in signing the 22 year old.
It is possible that Borussia Dortmund could look to sign both Malen and Madueke this summer, but only if the financial opportunity arises.
