Russian State Duma Deputy Nikolai Valuev, in Saudi Al-Hilal, St. Petersburg “Zenith” said that the football player Malcom is the leader of the club from the banks of the Neva “RB Sports”.
“Did the sale of Malcolm affect Zenith? Malcolm was really the leader of the blue-white-blues, his departure is a loss. But for that kind of money, the player had to be released,” said Valuev.
Malcolm moved to Saudi Al-Hilal on 3 August. The deal amounted to 60m euros and all payments must be paid before the end of the 2023/24 season. This sale was the most expensive in the history of the Russian Premier League (RPL).
Malcom moved from Barcelona to Zenit in 2019. During his time in Russia, he became the champion of the country four times, winning the Russian Cup once and the Super Cup three times.
Malcolm’s old friend saidwhether the player will go to Spartak or CSKA.
