"Now, inside the club, are seeing our options, seeing if it is legal. It is true that did not sign at all, but there are a lot of messages with the agents and his president that at least is worth it to evaluate". Like this of conclusive has showed Monchi, sportive director of the Rome, when announcing officially the signing of Malcom by the FC Barcelona after the Girondins of Bordeaux announced his agreement with the Italian team.

During the Monday, the Rome, the Girondins of Bordeaux and the agents of Malcom closed the last fringes of the signing: "To the five of the afternoon arrive to an agreement; with the agent, with the player and with the Girondins. It was done and had permission so that the player travelled to Rome for the medical recognition. There was a flight programmed to the nine of the night, that would arrive to the eleven. We were calm".

Monchi Also explained that, once announced officially the agreement between Rome and Bordeaux, arose a new interest of the Barça: "Once that arrive to the agreement with Burdeos, some 30 minutes afterwards, his president, Stephane Martin, called me to say me that there were a lot of rumours on the agreement, and for them would be better to do it official. Everything was fact, but roughly an hour after the announcement, began to appear rumours on a new interest of Barcelona. It is true that, does some days, were conscious that there were clubs interested, between them the one of Barcelona. Because of this, arrive to an agreement the fastest possible: already it was done. So it surprised me a lot when one of the representatives of the player called me to say me that the Burdeos had withdrawn the permission so that the player travelled to Rome".

The sportive director of the Rome explained that, after concretising the offer of the FC Barcelona -several upper millions to the Italian- the Bordeaux demanded a contraoferta of the Romans: "it said Me that it had arrived an offer of Barcelona that it was better that ours and that if we did not go up the offer could not fichar to the player. I said him that had an agreement, that had done the deal, but said that it had not signed at all and that, in spite of having exchanged some documents to sign, could not do at all. I informed to our president and he gave me the green light to go on and do a new offer that was better that the one of Barcelona. This went against of my opinion, but he insisted in that it was had".

The option of the Barça earned strength

Monchi Admitted that it accepted the request and that surpassed the offer of the Barça: "I Informed to the president of the Girondins that were had to surpass the offer. It said me that we had to send it officially. To the 11 of the night present a formal document with the offer that the president Pallotta was had to do. The agents and the president of Burdeos said me that if all was agreed, today Tuesday could exchange the documents and the player would go back to be authorised to travel to Rome at night. Early this morning I spoke with the agent of Malcom, Fernando García, the one who had a meeting with the Burdeos foreseen in the morning to confirm that everything was smart".

The Girondins asked, again, another increase of the offer, something to that the Rome denied and that caused that Malcom fichase by the Barça: "After this meeting, surprised me that the agents and the Burdeos wanted another offer improved, since the Barcelona was presionando to arrive to an agreement. I said them that no, because we did not want to go in in an auction: we could not follow like this, and yesterday only we had elevated our offer because of the will and the wish of our president. So like this it was as it finished everything".
