Juventus have recently entered into talks to secure the services of the talented Malcom, who is currently starring at Zenit. The Italian club has already started the first negotiations and is actively working on the formulation of an official offer for the Russians.
With 26 goals scored in his 33 official appearances last season, the dynamic 26-year-old Brazilian striker is at the top of his game in Europe and even earned a place in the Brazilian National Team on his debut in the last friendly match against Guinea.

Valued between 30 and 40 million euros, Malcom arrived in Russian football in 2019, leaving then FC Barcelona, which still owns a share of the transfer rights in the event of a possible sale of the player. Revealed to the general public by Corinthians, where he played professionally from 2014 to 2015, Malcom is under contract with Zenit until June 2027.
Juventus determined to strengthen their attacking sector with the explosive Malcom
Juventus clearly intend to strengthen their attacking sector by betting on Malcom, who showed the full extent of his goalscoring skills the previous season. The Italian club are aware that the Brazilian player represents a sizeable investment, but they are ready to make every effort to acquire him.
Discussions between Juventus and Zenit are ongoing and it remains to be seen if the two clubs will manage to reach an agreement. Juventus are renowned for their ambition and constant desire to sign top-flight players, and Malcom could fit perfectly into their squad. His explosiveness, technique and ability to score goals would bring a new dimension to Juventus’ attack.
