Malcolm is not moving to PSG.
From the “PSG” was a substantive interest.
Not at night, whether the aforementioned representative of PSG went out to the player. I will not hide the fact that the interest of such a big club as PSG in our player is pleasant.
I had a correspondence and conversation with the president of the Parisian club, Mr. Nasser Al-Khelaifi. During this communication, we discussed the conditions under which Malcolm’s transfer to PSG would be possible. Al-Khelaifi heard these conditions and noticed that in the current situation, apparently related to the financial fair play and the high costs of PSG regarding Messi, the option of a full-fledged transfer this winter is not preferable for them. In such a situation, PSG would be interested in renting a football player. Which, of course, does not suit the “Zenith”.
After that, we did not receive any new offer from the Parisian club. Therefore, we consider the story of Malcolm’s transfer to PSG in this transfer window closed. I would like to emphasize that PSG did not succumb to the devilish temptation – very dubious from a legal point of view, not to mention the ethical side of the matter – to push the player to terminate the contract, ”Match TV quoted Medvedev as saying .

Medvedev also answered the question of whether it is possible for Zenit to return to negotiations with PSG on Malcolm in the future.
“I will answer this way. Look, there is a famous player Ousmane Dembele. He was acquired by Barcelona for an amount that, including bonuses, could be more than 140 million euros. So, in addition to the fact that he completely failed the final game of the World Cup with Argentina and was replaced by a pair with Giroud in the first half before the break, he scored only five goals in the Spanish Championship. At the same time, despite such, to put it mildly, modest performance on the football field in the club and the national team, its market value is quite high. The well-known portal Transfermarkt, of course, is not Newton’s binomial, but still gives a certain orientation. There, Dembele is worth 60 million euros. That is, it has decreased, but it is, after all, 60 million euros.
Malcolm, who is the same age as Dembele, is a first-class football player. He is playing well this season and I am sure that our players who show their class on the football field at Zenit and other Russian teams will be of interest to European clubs. There are many football players, but the number of good and very good ones is not so great. Therefore, such opportunities remain. We have always been for our players, having shown themselves at Zenit, to be able to play for the top clubs of the five leading leagues, ”added the general director of the St. Petersburg club.
Malcom played 17 matches in the current Russian championship, scored 12 goals and made five assists.
