Zenit’s head coach, Sergey Semak, commented on Malcolm’s words that the Brazilian footballer is ready to consider options for moving to a club that plays in European cups. Semak’s words convey “RB Sports”.
“Did Malcolm say he wants to play in the European competition again? Great. If he gets good offers why not. We’ll just be happy for him,” said Semak.
Malcolm had not previously ruled out that he could leave the Neva shores to play in European competitions.
“I think I had a good season, I performed perfectly. “I can now think of a new opportunity to return to leagues playing in European competition,” said Malcolm.
In the summer, the Brazilian players of Zenit Malcolm and Claudinho announced that they want to stay in the team from the shores of the Neva for the next season. Later, they themselves started the possibility of obtaining a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
In this season of the Russian Premier League (RPL), Malcolm scored 16 goals and provided 5 assists in 21 games.
