After one season in Spain, Brazilian winger Malcom could soon leave Barcelona to go to Russia. The former Bourdeaux player, who was also close to joining Inter and Roma in the past, is in fact set to sign for Zenit St. Petersburg.
Talks between clubs are ongoing and the parties are nearing an agreement on the transfer of Malcom. The Russian side's sporting director Javier Ribalta, formerly of Juventus, is in Catalonia to close the deal for the Brazilian, who will soon start a new chapter of his career in the Russian league.
