How much?
His clause is 180m. People say that's fine but the standard release clause for Barca B players is 200.
How much?
He hasn't even played yet and we're worrying if someone will pay 180 mill for him. In 2 years we might be begging teams to pay 30 million for him.
He reminds me of Alexis Sanchez when he played for Udinese in terms of attributes and style of play.
I.loved Alexis, but I understood he wasn't the player for Barca.
I'm sure Malcon was one of the better options out there, but Atleti signed Gelson Martin's who's 23 years old, and would have been even a better signing than Malcom for the right wing.
If Alexis didn't work, it's b.c he lacked in the technique department.
He had good speed and good drivglong ability with space, but as soon as a team.paroed the bus, he was not very useful.
I hope I'm wrong, but Barca need to start prioritizing technique and skill over speed.
Gelson Martin's has both, and he went to Atletico for free.

He had good speed and good ball driving ability with space, but as soon as a team parked the bus and he couldn't tell on his speed, he was not very useful.
I hope I'm wrong, but Barca need to start prioritizing technique and skill over super speed.

Martins is two years older. Have you watched him enough? When I watched him I got the impression that he is a pacy winger who needs lots of space on counters and not someone who is good against parked buses.
I disagree completely. Martins couldn't even get off the bench for Portugal who were desperate for an attacking impetus at the World Cup. To me he's just like Schurrle.
Malcom is a technical player. He's got low centre of gravity, close control, is very creative and has a very high ceiling overall. By the time he's Martins age, he'll be another monster.
Alexis can't even beat a cone 1v1
Tend to agree about Martins. Nothing special, really. Frightening speed but that's about it. These Portuguese players get overrated for nothing.
He'd make a great deal as a free transfer, though.
Atletico Madrid will have to settle for a fee though, so not free at all.
But despite having been available all summer, and with plenty of big guns desperate for a right winger (Man Utd, Roma, ourselves, Chelsea if Willian/Hazard left) only Atletico decided to take - a late - punt on him.
I'd agree. I don't see him as anything special. I'd for one much rather have Dembele and Malcom, who are better and younger.
