According to the Sun, Borussia Dortmund have joined the race to sign Bordeaux’s highly rated Brazilian forward Malcom.

The 20-year-old joined from Corinthians in 2016 and quickly made a name for himself through a string of stunning performances. The quality of his finishing has only attracted further attention, resulting in him being linked with some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

The Brazil under-23 international has scored 18 goals in 78 appearances for Bordeaux, who currently value him at around £45million.

It was reported that Tottenham had a bid of £31million rejected for the youngste,r although the North London club had denied such an approach.

Last season, Borussia Dortmund had a £35m bid rejected, with the French side remaining true to their £45m valuation.

As it stands, the current price tag seems a bit steep for any of the three clubs who are all unwilling to meet the demands presented by the Ligue 1 side

United boss Jose Mourinho is believed to be a big fan of Malcom, but has no intention at all of forking out £45m just yet, while Tottenham’s need for additional width is unlikely to see them take such a costly risk.
