The migration of football stars from Europe to Saudi Arabia continues. Al Hilal do not stop strengthening their ranks, and they have officially completed a quartet of reinforcements. After Kalidou Koulibaly from Chelsea, Ruben Neves from Wolverhampton and Sergej Milinković Savić from Lazio, the Blue Waves signed Brazilian attacker Malcom from Zenit.The former Bordeaux and Barcelona player thus became the most expensive addition to the team from Riyadh this summer, as they set aside a fixed 45,000,000 euros for his services, while the club from Saint Petersburg could earn another 15,000,000 euros as a bonus. The Brazilian signed a contract until the summer of 2027.✅Malcom will visit one of Zenit’s next home games (most likely Dynamo) to say goodbye to the fans. https://t.co/DgIKc0ZlB8 pic.twitter.com/hKfYr8U61l— RPL Sky (@RPLNews_eng) July 26, 2023 Thus, Malcom should cost the Saudi side 60,000,000 euros, and so far they agreed on the transfer of Neves for 55,000,000 euros, 40,000,000 cost the freedom of Milinković Savić, while Chelsea earned 23,000,000 euros for the sale of Koulibaly.When it comes to the 26-year-old Brazilian footballer, he started his career in Corinthians, and in 2016 he arrived in Europe where he signed for Bordeaux. Two years later, he moved to Barcelona for 42,000,000 euros, but he failed to establish himself in Catalonia, so he was soon taken away by Zenit for 45,000,000.##NAJAVA_MECA_7390487##Malcom played 109 official matches in the Zenit shirt and scored 42 goals, with 24 assists. He won three titles in Russia, one Russian Cup and four Super Cups.As things stand, Al Hilal will not stop there. They have been negotiating the transfer of Aleksandar Mitrović from Fulham for a long time and the latest rumours are that they will go after PSG’s Marco Verratti. Their attempt of signing Kylian Mbappe for a record sum of 300,000,000 euros fell flat on its face as the Frenchman said a firm NO.
