Everton are ready to hand Malcom with a way out of his Barcelona misery, claims French outlet RMC Sport.
Malcom only joined Barcelona last summer but his days at the club look numbered.
Barcelona are closing in on a move to sign Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann and are still pursuing a blockbuster deal to re-sign Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.
The LaLiga champions need to offload players in order to balance their books and Malcom is free to leave after being deemed surplus to requirements by Ernesto Valverde.
Malcom has previously been linked with a move to Arsenal but it is Everton that have emerged as the frontrunners for the former Bordeaux ace.
Everton have a good relationship with Barcelona after signing Andre Gomes, Yerry Mina and Lucas Digne from the Spanish giants in the last year.
Marco Silva is now eyeing another raid of Barcelona with a €35m (£31.4m) bid for Malcom.
Given Barcelona paid £36.5m to sign Malcom from Bordeaux 12 months ago, it remains to be seen whether they will accept making a loss on the 22-year-old.
Malcom was limited to just 15 league appearances in his first season for Barcelona and only six of those were starts.
The Brazilian played a direct hand in three goals in that period (one goal, two assists), having scored or assisted 19 goals in 35 league appearances for Bordeaux in 2017/18.
