Furthermore, he will arrive in Catalonia on Tuesday evening, undergo his medical the following morning and then put pen to paper on a five-year contract.
However, it soon sufficed that Bordeaux had denied him permission to board a flight to Rome as Barca came in with an 11th-hour bid, which surpassed the Giallorossi’s €40m.
Malcom, who primarily plays as a left-footed right winger, scored 20 goals in 84 appearances for Les Girondins and has represented Brazil at Under-20 and U21 levels.
Bem-vindo Malcom! Welcome!
