Sport claim Malcom is close to leaving Barcelona having endured a torrid first six months at the Nou Camp.
The 21-year-old has played just eight times in all competitions since joining Barcelona from Bordeaux.
And he was left out of Ernesto Valverde’s squad as they beat Levante in the Copa del Rey on Thursday night.
However, it seems as though Malcom will be getting the move he supposedly craves by joining Tottenham.

Spurs are reported to have made contact with Barcelona on Wednesday regarding the former Brazil Under-20 international.
And negotiations are now ongoing over an agreement which would see him join them on loan to begin with.
Tottenham would then be obligated to snap Malcom up permanently at the end of the season.
The prospective deal is apparently very likely to happen before the end of the month.

Tottenham transfer news: Malcom now very likely to join Spurs with Barcelona talks ongoing (Image: GETTY)
And it will come as a boost to Mauricio Pochettino as he looks to get his team’s title challenge back on track.
Malcom was in Tottenham’s sights last summer before he headed to Barcelona.
And his ill-fated stint in Spain has opened the door for him to finally head to England.
Should Tottenham fail to land Malcom, he could end up at Guangzhou Evergrande, with the Chinese club already having seen a £44m (€50m) bid knocked back.
