Malcom was playing hella nice in pre-season as well smh
The guy was about to join Roma as well before Barca came out of nowhere. Now they don't even play him
Stuff is crazy. It makes more sense to join the Barca's of the world after establishing yourself within a big club. At Roma, Malcom would have still gotten very competitive football, probably consistent first team play and UCL. Now he'll just rot on the bench or be used for CDR matches.
I mean look at Alcacer. Dude was Valencia's main man. The team was building around him and he was getting week in week out first team football. Went to Barca and was rotting on the bench. He's now moved to Dortmund and it's like a breath of fresh air.
Bigger isn't always better.
But hey, you gotta fight for what you want in this life, so I imagine Malcom thought he could have fought for a spot on the right wing
