Former Everton target Malcom not wanted at Barcelona

Former Everton target Malcom is reportedly an ‘unwanted’ man at Barcelona, after only making the switch to the Camp Nou in the summer, according to Calcio Mercato.

The Brazilian starlet, who is thought of as a future star by many around the world, has featured just twice off the bench for the Spanish giants since joining from Bordeaux.

The 21-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Goodison Park in the summer, after impressing in Ligue 1 for his former side last season where he found the back of the net 12 times.

However, the wide man, who was also strongly linked with a move to AS Roma and Inter Milan, is now out of favour for Barcelona, with the report suggesting that current boss Ernesto Valverde doesn’t know where to play the forward in his side.

The article also suggests that Valverde never wanted to buy Malcom in the first place, so the Brazilian could well be a target for the Toffees again come January.
