Malcom could be on his way to Barcelona after Blaugrana launched a bid late on Monday night to sign the Brazilian star.

The 21-year-old was headed to Serie A giants Roma, however, his current club Bordeaux have blocked the move despite an agreement being in place between the two sides.

The forward was expected to undergo a medical in Rome on Tuesday and complete his switch to Italy ahead of Roma’s pre-season tour to the United States.

But, now those plans have been ripped up according to sources.

Bordeaux supposedly cancelled their player’s travel arrangements to the Italian capital after receiving an offer from Barcelona for their man.

It has been suggested that the Catalan club have proposed significantly more cash than Roma’s initial bid of €38 million and that is thought to be the principal reason why the transfer with Roma was halted.

Malcom, in recent times, has also been linked with Everton and Tottenham.
