London [UK], July 24 (ANI): A day after Italian Professional club Roma confirmed that they have reached an agreement to rope in Brazillian striker Malcom for a fee of 38 million pounds, Barcelona made a last-minute bid for the player on Tuesday, Goal.com reported.
The 21-year-old, who was expected to arrive in Rome for the completion of the deal, reportedly, did not travel, following Barcelona's late bid.
