Barcelona have agreed a deal with Bordeaux to sign Malcom for a fee that could rise to €42m (£37.3m).

A statement on the Barcelona website said the Brazilian will sign a five-year contract at the Nou Camp.

The Spaniards will pay a fee of £36.4m plus a further £889,000 in potential add-ons to complete the deal.

Malcom is due to arrive in the city on Tuesday, where he will have the traditional photograph taken by the Barca badge outside the club offices, before undergoing a medical on Wednesday morning.

The 21-year-old will then join the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

"FC Barcelona and Girondins de Bordeaux have reached an agreement for the transfer of the player Malcom Filipe Silva de Oliveira," a Barcelona statement said.
