BARCA AGREE 41 MILLION POUNDS MALCOM MOVE AFTER HIJACKING ROMA DEAL

Barcelona have agreed a €41 million (£36.5m/$48m) deal to bring Bordeaux forward Malcom to Camp Nou having hijacked Roma's move for the Brazilian,
Roma confirmed on Monday that they had reached an agreement to bring the 21-year-old to the Italian capital for a fee of €38m (£34m/$44m).
The player was expected to arrive in Rome on Tuesday to undergo a medical and complete the move but did not travelled given Barca's late interest.

Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Inter and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with his signature while Everton made a bid this summer, only to be beaten to a deal by Roma.
