Liverpool must swiftly swoop for Bordeaux winger Malcom after a report revealed that the French club were willing to let him go out on loan.
It was revealed by Calciomercato on Saturday that Bordeaux were willing to let their dazzling Brazilian winger leave on loan and would include an option to sign him on a permanent basis at a later date.
It is believed that Inter Milan are very interested in acquiring Malcom’s services, with a fee of £34.9million mooted, and could now move forward with their pursuit due to Bordeaux opening the door to a potential loan move first.
Calciomercato’s report claims that Inter Milan have yet to reach a final agreement with the Ligue 1 club but are set to move forward with their advances regarding the winger.
This means that the Reds must swoop now to hijack the Italian giant’s pursuit as Bordeaux have made a deal for Malcom way too enticing to resist.
It shows that Bordeaux are willing to be flexible over letting the winger leave and this plays right into the Reds’ hands.
Malcom,21, wouldn’t be guaranteed 90 minutes every week due to the presence of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane at Anfield but could soon be very tough competition for the pair if Jurgen Klopp works his magic on him.
The Brazilian winger netted 12 goals, while registering eight assists, in his 38 appearances during the 2017/18 campaign but it’s unknown how he will excel in the Premier League.
If a possible loan move is on the cards before a large fee is needed to tie up his services then it makes a potential deal for Malcom way more worthwhile as the club can see first hand how he copes in England.
The 21-year-old famed for his skilful drilling ability, set-pieces as well as his ability to play beautiful passes has the potential to be a very exciting signing for the Reds.
Therefore while Inter Milan may be poised to move the Reds should get involved and snap up Malcom on loan, with an option to buy, as Bordeaux are clearly willing to play ball after this latest report.
