Malcom hints at possible Barcelona return

Zenit St Petersburg winger Malcom has suggested that he may return to Barcelona at the end of the season.

After a poor opening campaign at Camp Nou, Malcom was allowed to join Zenit during the summer, only to quickly become unsettled in Russia due to racist abuse from the club's supporters.

Despite being less than halfway through his first year at Zenit, the Brazilian has hinted that a second stint at the Catalan giants is a possibility.

The 22-year-old told RMC Sport: "I have received messages about returning to Barcelona.

"Whenever I was given a chance to play [at Barcelona] I think I did well. For that reason, I believe the Barcelona fans still love me."

Malcom has made just two appearances for the Russian outfit this season.
