Inter close door on Malcom

By Football Italia staff

Malcom's agents are reportedly trying to set up a move to Italy, but Inter have closed the door on the Barcelona winger.

The Nerazzurri were interested in signing the Brazilian in the summer, but appeared to have been beaten to the punch by Roma.

The Giallorossi had an offer accepted by Bordeaux, and Malcom was all-set to fly out to Italy to take his medical.

Despite both clubs announcing a deal was done, Barça hijacked the transfer at the last minute and the youngster moved to Camp Nou.

The 21-year-old has played just 25 minutes across two substitute appearances so far, and hasn’t even been in Ernesto Valverde’s squad in recent weeks.

According to both calciomeracto.com and CalcioNews24, Malcom’s agents have once again contacted Inter about a potential move.

The Nerazzurri immediately closed the door though, as they already have Matteo Politano and Keita Baldé Diao.

They were also unimpressed with the perceived unprofessionalism of his move to Catalonia.

A move to Roma is obviously out of the question, as President James Pallotta was furious about the summer transfer saga.
