Barcelona sign Malcom from Bordeaux after Roma drama
Spanish champions Barcelona announced today they have signed Brazilian winger Malcom from French side Bordeaux on a five-year deal for 41 million euros ($48 million).
The signing comes after Bordeaux blocked the transfer of the 21-year-old to Italian giants Roma following a last-minute bid from the Catalan side on Monday.
"FC Barcelona and Girondins de Bordeaux have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira. The operation will cost 41 million euros and 1 million in variables," Barcelona said in a statement.
"The player will sign with the club for the next five seasons, until the end of the 2022/23 season."
