Tottenham move into pole position in Malcom race | OneFootball

Barcelona are set to field plenty of offers for Malcom this summer, but the most serious interest reportedly comes from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Brazilian has had a frustrating first season at the Camp Nou after arriving from Bordeaux in a move tinged with controversy last summer.

After spurning Roma to move to Spain, things haven’t worked out and he has struggled to cement himself in Ernesto Valverde’s plans.

Catalan outlet Sport claim that a number of clubs have shown an eagerness to sign him this summer but insist that Spurs are frontrunners.

The report states that the Champions League finalists have shown the most interest in the winger and that they have already begun preliminary negotiations.

While discussing a potential summer move with Barcelona for André Gomes, Spurs also took the opportunity to put Malcom’s name on the negotiation table.

Borussia Dortmund are also lining up a bid for the 22-year-old, while Spurs’ London rivals Arsenal have also been linked.

Malcom is willing to listen to offers this summer, particularly from England, due to his frustration at not receiving the playing time he expected.

However, Barcelona will not consider a deal below the €40m that they paid Bordeaux for his services last year.
