Malcom finalizes its transfer to Barcelona for an amount of 41 million euros | Bleacher's report

Barcelona announced Tuesday that it beat the Roma at the signing of Bordeaux striker Malcom for the amount of € 41 million , with another 1 million euros of potential add-ons :

L&#39 Brazilian sailor appeared to be en route to Serie A, but the Blaugrana made a late move for the 21-year-old, and [19659009] Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sport Italia reported for the first time the move to Camp Nou.

"Bordeaux and the agents of the player pushed to this result despite the fact that Roma made an offer exceeding that of Blaugrana, said Di Marzio." Even though Malcom himself was eager to join the Giallorossi, the Italian club is now resigned to the fact that the player will go to Spain. "

Malcom was one of the best young Ligue 1 players last season, excelling in a Bordeaux team that fought for long spells of the season.

The striker was generally playing on the right flank and was devastating inside his left foot.Malcom's pace, deception and ability to hit the ball from a distance made it so difficult to face for the opposition players.

It seemed inevitable that he was going to leave Bordeaux, and Roma seemed to have secured the player, even posting on social media that they had agreed to an agreement with French equipment subject to a medical and personal term.

As can be seen from Get French Football News, Roma fans seemed convinced that Malcom was on his way to Rome:

Lucky to join Barcelona came with a mbadive temptation because the Blaugrana are one of the biggest clubs in the world and are constantly facing the challenge of l & # 39; silverware.

During the season, they lost just one game in La Liga, winning the title in Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid. For Malcom, the chance to work with players like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho will certainly be tempting.

There will always be questions as to the place of the Brazilian in the setting up of Ernesto Valverde: after all, not only this trio Ousmane Dembele will try to improve his second season at Barça because of an injury that undermined his momentum last season.

Barcelona was also badociated with a transfer for Willian in this window of transfer by Sky Sports that Chelsea had refused a £ 55 million offer for the Brazilian International The football journalist Ryan Baldi thought that chasing after Malcom made more sense: [19659017] Ryan Baldi @ RyanBaldiFW

Nine years younger and about 20 million euros less, Malcom makes more sense than Willian for Barcelona, ​​can play anywhere on the second line of attack and will ease the creative burden from Messi
