Malcolm is a highly-sought after winger who was tipped with a move to either Tottenham or Arsenal during January. While Wenger’s side appears to have cooled their interest, Spurs hasn’t given up on the Bordeaux ace.
However, the north London outfit is losing the race for his signature. According to the Sun, his Premier League move grows unlikely by the day, with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and BVB now leading the chase.
Dortmund’s reason for wanting the Brazilian is understandable. Ousmane Dembele was not adequately replaced upon his summer departure to Barcelona. Malcolm could fill that vacancy and add flare to the German club.
Jupp Heynckes, on the other hand, is searching for young blood to inherit the role of Robben and Ribery. Two extremely talented players in their prime, the Frenchman and Dutchman are both 34, with their age showing now more than ever.
The 21-year-old wanted a January Ligue 1 exit, but Pochettino’s camp was unable to strike a deal and thus signed Lucas Moura instead. Nonetheless, Tottenham has been tipped to return for the Brazilian, with the player reaching a gentleman’s agreement with his employers over a summer transfer.
The British tabloid, though, claims die Roten lodged in a bid for Malcolm last week. Dortmund, who hosts Augsburg on Monday, has now tossed their hat into the ring with an official offer. The amount tabled by both sides was not mentioned, but Bordeaux is demanding more than $70m for the player.
