Highly-rated Bordeaux attacker Malcom believes the time has come to leave the Ligue 1 side and is eager to realise his "dream" of playing for a club like Bayern Munich.
Malcom has been with Bordeaux since leaving Corinthians in January 2016, becoming one of the standout players in Ligue 1 despite still being just 21.
But Bordeaux dug their heels in on that occasion and now Bayern appear to be frontrunners, with the Bavarian giants reportedly keen on bringing in younger wide players, as Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery – both 34 – head towards the end of their careers.
"I think it's time," the Brazilian told Sky Deutschland. "I've done a good job here and I'm grateful to Bordeaux, but I need a new challenge now, I have to set new goals.
"Bayern is one of the biggest clubs in the world. It would be a dream to play there someday. Everyone knows Bayern Munich.
"It makes me very happy that they think about me. I will continue to work hard on me. Who knows, a change to Munich may soon become a reality."
"The Premier League is also a very interesting option," he added. "I learned the language quickly, had no major difficulties.
"French was much harder, so in England I would be fine, but in the end, I'd integrate anywhere."
