Barcelona have announced the €41million signing of Bordeaux winger Malcom, who looked all set to join Serie A side Roma.
The Brazilian attacker has agreed a five-year contract and will undergo his medical tests on Wednesday before joining the club’s pre-season tour.
Premier League giants Arsenal and Tottenham were reportedly interested in the 21-year-old but Roma emerged as the frontrunners for his signature this week.
Bordeaux announced on Monday that a €40m deal had been agreed with Roma, but according to reports, Malcom rejected the switch in favour of a move to Camp Nou.
