Spanish Giants Barcelona are still interested in signing Chelsea star Willian.
That’s according to Spanish outlet La Sexta, who claim Barcelona are prepared to use Malcom as part of an audacious swap deal for the Brazilian playmaker.
The Catalan giants were heavily linked with Willian during the summer transfer window, but Chelsea rejected three separate offers – the last a sizeable £55million bid.
But Barcelona aren’t giving up.
Spain TV station La Sexta say Barcelona are ready to cut their losses on summer signing Malcom, who has played 105 minutes of competitive action since completing a £36.5million deal from Bordeaux.
Because the report says that Malcom would only be a part of the deal – it’s likely that Barcelona will have to pay an additional fee for Willian.
