From among all the signings made by the FC Barcelona the past market of traspasos, the one of Malcom Filipe was the oddest of all. The Brazilian forward was the third reinforcement of the Barcelona staff and arrived in an operation lightning and carried secretly by the technical office, that announced the incorporation of unexpected form.
It was an arrival convulsa, since the Rome had tied to the player and the Italians even announced the contracting of official form. Nevertheless, it earned it forces the option of the FC Barcelona and finally the jven Brazilian finish dressing of Barcelona, after the Catalan club credited 41 million euros to the Girondins of Bourdeaux.
Malcom was, finally, the most expensive signing of the summer in the FC Barcelona. It is necessary to say that, during the pre-season, left very good feelings with goals so much in turns it American as in the Trofeu Joan Gamper. Everything aimed to that it was a competition more than serious for Ousmane Dembélé in the position of extreme.
However, with the step of the time, the Brazilian forward has gone falling of the lists of summoned of Ernesto Valverde. When beginning the season and in full peak of Dembélé, began like acting, although had some minutes. After his injury of ankle, the Brazilian began to remain out of the lists and, to day of today, his situation is an incógnita.
Besides, that Arthur Melo worked so well in Wembley against the Tottenham neither helps him to Malcom, since Philippe Coutinho advanced his position to play of extreme and also shined. Therefore, now Malcom no longer only has to Dembélé like competition, but also it has topado with the own Arthur and even with Munir.
What can contribute Malcom?
Malcom is a fast player, with desborde and with a powerful far shot, by what can be useful for desatascar split in which the FC Barcelona do not find gap. In the Girondins played hit to the right and his diagonals to the interior to define with powerful shots were a played usual in him. If it achieves to convince to Valverde, the Brazilian still has options to be important.
