Barcelona forward Malcolm looks set to join Zenit St Petersburg after the two clubs have agreed on a €40m fee.
Malcom has endured a torrid 12 months at Camp Nou after joining from Bordeaux last season. He turned his back on what was thought to be a cast-iron move to Roma. But things haven’t worked for the 22-year-old, who scored just one goal in 15 LaLiga appearances
Arsenal were also linked with Malcom. But they instead signed Nicolas Pepe from Lille.
Now Sky Sports Italia have confirmed that Malcom will go to Russia.
The 22-year-old still has much of his career ahead of him and his talent has been evident in the past, most notably during his final season at Bordeaux.
According to many reports, Zenit’s sporting director, Javier Ribalta, flew to Spain and has now agreed a deal to sign the formerly highly coveted forward. And a deal has been struck between Barçelona and Zenit, with the South American forward joining for €40m plus €5m in bonuses.
Malcolm will become one of eight South Americans at the club that is captained by ex-Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
It would take a massive effort from another club to take this transfer away from the five-time Russian champions, which is very unlikely.
