Guangzhou Evergrande Lodge Speculative €50m Offer for Out-of-Favour Barcelona Winger Malcom

Chinese Super League outfit Guangzhou Evergrande have lodged a €50m offer for Barcelona's out-of-favour winger Malcom.

The Brazilian joined Barça for €41m in last summer's transfer window, after hijacking Roma's own deal for 21-year-old at the last minute. However, he has since struggled to make an impact at Camp Nou, making just nine appearances for La Blaugrana.

In those nine games, he has managed to collect two goals, though the majority of them have been short-lived cameos, with his five La Liga showings comprising just 97 minutes of action.

And, according to reports from Goal, this has pushed the Chinese outfit to produce a lavish €50m bid for the player in their hopes of bringing him to the CSL.
