Tottenham Hotspur and Everton are reportedly keen on signing the Barcelona ace.
Barcelona ace Malcom’s agent Luis Fernando Menezes Garcia took to Instagram yesterday, suggesting that rumour linking his client with a move to Lazio are ‘fake news’, giving further hope to Tottenham and Everton in their chances of signing the winger.
Spanish media outlet Marca claims that the Toffees want to sign Malcom this month, whilst fellow Spanish publication Sport suggests that Spurs are closely monitoring the 21-year-old.
Both Everton and Tottenham received a blow to their hopes of signing Malcom, however, when Sport claimed that Serie A side Lazio were also interested in obtaining his signature.
The Brazilian’s agent Luis Fernando Menezes Garcia poured cold water on those rumours, however, by suggesting that talk of his client moving to Lazio was ‘fake news’:
Whether the Barcelona ace is actually available this month remains to be seen, but according to his agent, Tottenham and Everton have one less club to worry about as competition for his signature.
Both Premier League clubs could do with a player of Malcom’s ilk, and should they really want him, the duo could surely afford the £45 million that AS reports it would take to prise him away from the Camp Nou.
