60 million euros for a former promise of Brazilian football. Al-Hilal’s proposal appears to be disconnected from the transfer market.
Passed by FC Barcelona, Malcom did not at all confirm the hopes placed in him in the summer of 2018 when he landed in Catalonia from the Girondins de Bordeaux. The Barcelona leaders had released 40 million euros to secure the services of the Brazilian attacking midfielder.
A year later (2019), Barça separated from the left-hander by recovering the amount committed that the Russians of Zenit Saint-Petersburg had kindly paid. Last season, the Brazilian rather shone with 23 goals scored in 27 league matches.
A flattering statistical sheet, to the point of putting 60 million on the table? One can judge this excessive amount but it would be about the proposal formulated by Al-Hilal. The Saudi Arabian club recruited confirmed players in Europe this summer: Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Minlikovic-Savic.
