Al-Hilal ‘to sell’ Malcom, ‘to move for’ Ousmane Dembélé | OneFootball

According to Goal.com, Al-Hilal are planning a summer reshuffle that includes selling Malcom, a move that could clear the path for Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembélé.

The Saudi club have so far held only verbal contact with PSG, and discussions have not reached an official stage.

Al-Hilal have decided to sell the Brazilian in this window after he fell out of Italian manager Simone Inzaghi’s plans.

Work is already under way to find Malcom a new destination, part of a broader squad reset to create space for arrivals before next season.

That would open a vacancy on the right flank, Dembélé’s favoured role, adding to speculation that the club could look to push a deal over the line in the coming period.

Inzaghi is seeking a quick winger with one-on-one threat. Dembélé fits that profile, and Malcom’s exit could be the first step towards a Roshn League switch.
