Barcelona have put young Brazilian star Malcom up for sale less than 6 months after signing the winger from Bordeaux in a €42 million deal, according to reports by ESPN.
Malcom has featured in just three games for the club since his controversial transfer from the French side, who had initially agreed a deal with Roma before the Spanish champions completed a last-minute coup.
The Catalan club are reportedly actively looking for a buyer for the 21-year-old, who was one of the most soughtafter young players in world football. North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham have both been strongly linked to the Brazilian in the past.
It is believed Barcelona will be looking to recoup the €42 million they paid Bordeaux last summer, and will listen to any offers north of that price.
Manager Ernesto Valverde has struggled to find a role for Malcom despite their continual interest in signing a winger, with Chelsea's Willian at the focus of several failed bids. Valverde has described Malcom in the past as a "signing made by the club" rather than a player he had desired.
