Barcelona manager, Ernesto Valverde, is hopeful that Malcom will not be their last arrival, before the new season kicks off.
Malcom, 21, arrived from Bordeaux for €41million, becoming Barca’s third signing of the summer, after Arthur Melo and Clement Lenglet.
However, the LaLiga champions are still working on the transfer of another central midfielder, with Paris Saint-Germain’s Adrien Rabiot a target.
“We’re open to any possibility,” Valverde said at a news conference at UCLA.
“It’s true that we’ve had some big departures in midfield [Andres Iniesta and Paulinho], so it’s likely that we will make more signings.
“We will try to build the most competitive squad possible, keeping in mind the fact that Andres and Paulinho have left.”
