Sky Sports Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio claims Liverpool have put forward a "very attractive request" to Malcom.
While the same can be said of the offers the Brazilian has received from Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
However, Di Marzio says Malcom is prepared to reject those three clubs in order to join Inter Milan.

Malcom is apparently convinced that Inter is the best place for him to continue his rapid development.
And that plays into the Serie A giants’ hands as they hold talks over a transfer with Bordeaux.
Di Marzio claims Bordeaux and Inter discussed a deal for Malcom on Tuesday night.

But they are some way apart in their valuations of the winger, with Inter offering £9m (€10m) less than Bordeaux’s £44m (€50m) price tag.
An agreement for Malcom to swap the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux for the San Siro is supposedly likely to be in place soon.
And that means Klopp will have to look elsewhere as he seeks to supplement the threat of Mane, Salah and Firmino.
