Roma sporting director Monchi points out “there’s a month left until the end of the transfer window”, and Malcom is “a possibility”.
The Giallorossi are set to sell goalkeeper Alisson to Liverpool for €75m, and the fans aren’t happy.
“I think think a sporting director can be too close to a fan’s way of thinking,” Monchi said in his Press conference today.
“Sometimes I become too much of a fan, but I have to make decisions in the best interests of the club.

“Sometimes I become too much of a fan, but I have to make decisions in the best interests of the club.
“Today some of them will be angry, some of them won’t, but they’re all happy when Roma win. That’s my job, to put together the strongest possible team to win and make the fans happy.
“I know they're all tired of words and want to win, but Rome wasn’t built in a day. I’ve been here for 14 months, so give me a little time. We’re here to present [Justin] Kluivert, which seemed impossible a few months ago.
“[Javier] Pastore is here, according to you that was impossible and yet he’s here. Malcom seemed crazy and today you tell me that’s a possibility. It’s fair to say that too, not just talk about Nainggolan and Alisson but also about the signings.
“This is my mobile phone, I have many compliments, not only for the sale, but for the team we’re putting together.
“Radja left and he was very strong, Alisson is too. Very strong players stayed, others arrived and more will come.
“There’s about a month left until the end of the transfer window, there are many reasons to hope.”
While Malcom could be a target, the same can’t be said for Steven N’Zonzi.
“Congratulations to N’Zonzi for the World Cup, and of course I like him – I took him to Sevilla. He’s not a real objective for us though.”
