Roma competing with Everton in Malcom race

Ian Watson

Roma have entered the race for Bordeaux winger Malcom, who has been heavily linked with Everton.

The Toffees were said to be in advanced talks with the French side over a £30million deal for the Brazilian.

But Roma, who will have £67million burning a hole in their pocket very soon, are said to have entered the race for the 21-year-old.

Malcom’s agent is reported to be meeting the Serie A side to discuss a possible switch.

“I will speak to Monchi in the upcoming hours,” Fernando Garcia is reported to have told TeleRadioStereo.

“The player would like to come to Italy.”
