Brazilian forward Malcom has left Barcelona after a single season to sign a five-year deal with Zenit St Petersburg.

The 22-year-old made only 15 La Liga appearances, scoring once, for the Spanish champions after arriving at the Camp Nou from Bordeaux in July 2018.

Zenit boss Sergei Semak told the club website: “We looked at Malcom a year ago but the transfer fee was too much for us – this year we had an opportunity to sign him.

“We understand the level of competition at Barcelona and why he had insufficient playing time. Malcom has decided to join our club, so we are very pleased.”
