The Moscow club is considering a loan deal for the player this summer, which would include an option to buy. Malcom has a contract with Al-Hilal that runs until June 30, 2027, and he has been capped twice by Brazil. In the 2025/2026 Saudi Pro League season, he made 33 appearances, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists. His current market value is €18.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
