# Barcelona willing to sell Malcom – but should the Gunners look elsewhere?

Barcelona are reportedly willing to sell Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton target Malcom this summer – but should the Gunners look elsewhere?

According to [Spanish outlet Marca, cited by the Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7256951/Barcelona-tell-Malcom-leave-55m-look-cash-Arsenal-Tottenham-target.html), the La Liga champions would allow the wide man to leave the Nou Camp if an offer in the region of £55 million came in.

The Spanish champions signed the Brazilian from Bordeaux for £37 million 12 months ago, and it appears that despite a poor individual season in Spain, Barcelona would look to make a hefty profit on the winger.

Arsenal are working under a tight transfer budget this summer, with Unai Emery reportedly having just £45 million available to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season.

A proposed deal for Malcom would mean that the Gunners would more than likely have to sell to fund a deal for the inconsistent winger.

Arsenal would be better off looking elsewhere to bolster their wide options, with Malcom certainly not worth all of the Gunners’ budget.

The Brazilian is a star on his day, however, he has struggled to break into the Barcelona side, and with no proven Premier League experience, it would definitely be a risk.

Emery would be better off looking at alternative options, leaving both Tottenham and Everton to battle it out for the Barcelona wide man.
