Lionel Messi wants Malcom sold
After joining Barcelona from Bordeaux on a €40 million deal, Malcom has failed to live up to the expectations and currently lives his life on the fringes at Barcelona. As such, the club is looking to offload him in the summer to make way for more financial capital which they can put to use over the course of the summer.
Several top clubs are interested in buying the 22-year-old. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Olympique Lyon are all ready to rope him in. Barcelona have slapped a €53 million price tag on the Brazilian.
Malcom has been ruled surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou with Barcelona needing a player who will want to pocket less and be content playing low-profile games. The report also adds the Lionel Messi has asked for Malcom to be sold to make way for the likes of Antoine Griezmann and Matthijs De Ligt.
