Malcom is desperate to leave Barcelona in the summer after a difficult campaign.
The forward only moved to the Nou Camp last year but has struggled for first team football and Barcelona are willing to let him go if they can recoup the €40million (£39m) they spent on him.
Roma thought they had won the race to sign him from Bordeaux until Barcelona made a late swoop to sign him, although Ernesto Valverde made it clear he had not pushed for the deal.
The Barcelona manager referred to Malcom as a 'signing made by the club'.
That outlook has been made clear as he has only made 19 appearances all season, with Barcelona fighting on three fronts, and been handed eight starts in all competitions.
Now, according to ESPN FC, he wants to leave the Spanish giants in the summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old spent most of the season fighting for his first-team place but in the report it suggests he has now grown frustrated at the lack of chances.
And if a team offers an amount close to the figure Barcelona paid, they will let him leave.
'He is a good footballer and has a good reputation,' a Barcelona source told ESPN FC. 'He's had the option to leave now for a while and we have to respect his decision. But Barca aren't going to give him away.'
His agents are now working to secure him a move elsewhere in Europe. Roma, Inter and AC Milan have previously shown an interest.
Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal were also credited with an interest in the summer.

just fck off , whenever he gets an opportunity he performs well , unlike Coutinho who is getting numerous chances but still the same result, sell Coutinho , 25 years of age and then too he needs time , that's puzzling for me

He is a very good player and it’s a shame he couldn’t get enough playing time at Barcelona to improve on his talents, what I like about Malcom is his spirit always happy and looking to make the most of his chances when the time arrives, if Milan purchase him they will be buying a quality player that can influence matches. O wish he could stay at barca, but Barca will probably sign players in the summer which give way for him, good luck Malcom.

it's not always possible to integrate everyone in the lineup, but this lad should have been given more chances!! EV's mindset about him being a signing made by the club is what destroyed his year...

This coach is using aleña at couthino position and dembele, couthino and Malcom are sharing one position, send aleña back Barça B, and let dembele and malcom get time and coutinho in middle field
