According to Fabrizio Romano on Twitter, Malcom is keen on a move to Paris Saint-Germain, and this will come as a blow for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United.
Italian journalist Romano has claimed that PSG will hold talks with Zenit Saint Petersburg over signing Malcom in the final days of the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old Brazilian forward himself wants to move to the defending Ligue 1 champions, according to Romano.
This will come as a blow for Newcastle, who have also been linked with the former Barcelona attacker.
FootMercato have reported that the Premier League club have made enquiries over signing the £108,000-a-week (SalarySport) forward.
The report claimed that the former Barcelona player has been offered to PSG.
Paris Saint-Germain over Newcastle United for Malcom
We do not find it surprising at all that Malcom is keen on a move to Paris Saint-Germain despite interest from Newcastle United.
Yes, Newcastle are doing extremely well in the Premier League at the moment, but PSG are one of the biggest and wealthiest clubs in the world.
PSG regularly win Ligue 1 and compete for the UEFA Champions League.
And they have some of the best players on the planet, such as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Now, of course, PSG will have to agree on a transfer fee with Zenit, and Newcastle could well decide to pay more than the French club.
However, we believe that Malcom would pick PSG over Newcastle even if the Magpies offer him more salary.
Meanwhile, A Bola have reported that Newcastle could make a late bid for Braga forward Vitinha.
