Barcelona want to bring in 45 million euros for Malcom
The Brazilian's agent now has various offers for the forward
One of the keys to Barcelona's business in the final weeks of the transfer market is the future of the Brazilian forward Malcom.
Barça never had any doubt that he would be an easy player to move on if Ernesto Valverde didn't want him. That was one of the reasons behind his signing last summer, although the club also believed he would play much more.
Malcom has always done well when he has played and that's led to interest across Europe. His agent has various offers on the table and prioritises a move to Italy, even though Barça have wanted that they will defend their interests in the negotiations.
The objective is to bring in 45 million euros for the former Bordeaux winger.
BIG WEEK
Malcom has several English teams ready to move for him, too, but time is running out. The transfer window for the Premier League teams closes on August 8, so this week is key.
The club even believe things could be tied up before the tour of the United States. At the moment, Everton, Arsenal and Tottenham have all sounded out a deal.
Everton have offered much less than 45 million, while there has been no offer from either of the London clubs. Arsenal's likely move for Nicolas Pepe could see them cool their interest.
ITALY
The player would like to try his luck in Italy. Napoli and Inter have officially asked about him but only in terms of a loan deal with an option to buy. Barça aren't keen. If he goes, they would rather an instant sale.
Borussia Dortmund are ruled out. They have not made an offer, nor do they intend to. Frankfurt and Leipzig could be keen in the Brazilian, though.
Barça believe that Malcom will leave sooner than later but won't set deadlines. The only deadline right now is the English transfer window.
