The Brazilian duo both look to be on their way out of Camp Nou, with former Bordeaux winger Malcom heading to Russia Zenit St Petersburg  are set to announce the signing of  Barcelona  winger Malcom, after the two clubs agreed a fee believed to be in the region of €40 million (£36.5m/$44.5m), plus €5 million (£4.6m/$5.6m) in add-ons. The  La Liga  champions fought off strong competition from  Roma  to sign the former  Bordeaux  star for €41 million just over a year ago. But having made just 24 appearances in all competitions for Ernesto Valverde’s side last season, the Brazilian is already on his way out of Camp Nou. Malcom will earn around €6.5 million per season in  Russia , whilst it is also understood that Barcelona will not have a buyback option on the deal, which is expected to be made official on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has a €180m release clause in his contract, but Barcelona have made clear that they would be happy to sell the winger should anyone offer more

From 140 million euros to 90 million euros. Since Jan. 1 2019  until now, that's how much value has dropped off Philippe  Coutinho. That makes the Brazilian the player whose value is  dropping the fastest in Europe's big five leagues. In seven  months, 37.5 percent has fallen off his value. Now, Coutinho costs 50 million less, according to data from  Transfermarkt. Remember that Barça paid Liverpool 120  million plus 40 million in potential add ons just over 18  months ago. The drop comes as Barça are trying to sell Coutinho. Despite  his good performances as Brazil won the Copa America this  summer, there have been no bids. The Catalans are looking to  bring in around 100 million for him. Real Madrid left-back Marcelo and Juventus forward Paulo  Dybala have also seen their prices drop in this period.  Marcelo is worth 45 million less, while Dybala's estimated  cost has dropped by 25 million.

There are just 10 day left of this summer's transfer window and  a string of deals in the pipeline or mooted but yet to be  completed. Here, we takes a look at some of the biggest transfers that  could still be done before the transfer window closes next  Thursday. Nicolas Pepe - Arsenal This would be a major statement signing from Arsenal if they  can pull it off. Arsenal have moved quickly to agree a  structured £72million deal with Lille for the Ivory Coast  winger, who would significantly bolster their attacking  options. Now they need to hold off the competition from  home and abroad to finalise the club record deal. Likelihood rating: ★★★★☆ Wilfried Zaha - Everton Wilfried Zaha wants out of Crystal Palace and Everton's  interest offers him fresh hope of securing a move with  Arsenal's attention now turned to Pepe. They have the money  to pull off a deal which will be needed with Palace holding out  for as much as £80m. Everto

REAL TELL JAMES HE IS STAYING Atletico defeat plays part in Real's U-turn Real Madrid have changed their mind about James Rodriguez and told the Colombian that he won't be leaving the club this summer after all, reports AS. Real's 7-3 friendly defeat by rivals Atletico Madrid and a serious injury suffered by Marco Asensio has prompted president Florentino Pérez to decide to keep the 28-year-old despite the wishes of Zinedine Zidane, who was willing to let the forward leave. Rodriguez returned to Real Madrid training on Monday for the first time in 787 days after his two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich came to an end. JUVE COULD USE DYBALA TO SECURE LUKAKU DEAL Juventus are considering offering Paulo Dybala to Manchester United in exchange for Romelu Lukaku, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. Lukaku is believed to have reached an outline agreement with Juve but the two clubs remain far apart when it comes to the transfer fee. As a result, the Italia

Coming off a blistering season in Ligue 1, the Ivory Coast international star has everything at his disposal to be a big hit at the Emirates Over the years, Lille have sent a string of players to the Premier League but none have commanded a fee close to the €80 million (£72m/$89m) that Arsenal are set to lavish upon the club to secure the services of attacker Nicolas Pepe. The Gunners have, of course, done business with LOSC previously, notably signing Gervinho from the 2010-11 side that won Ligue 1. If the Ivorian proved to be a flop in the Premier League, netting a disappointing nine league goals over the course of 46 appearances, his team-mate in France’s far north, Eden Hazard, proved altogether more successful at Chelsea. Despite the weight of expectation generated by the transfer dogfight over his signature, the massive fee involved and the fact that he is being touted as the ‘new Henry’, Pepe is equipped with all the tools to follow in Hazard's footsteps by becoming

Several of Europe's top sides have been linked with the Ivory Coast star, but it is the Premier League side that have pulled out in front Arsenal are looking increasingly likely to see off strong competition to land Nicolas Pepe, with the Gunners now in advanced talks over the structure of a staggered payment plan for the €80 million (£72m/$89m)  Lille  winger. Liverpool ,  Manchester United ,  Napoli  and  Paris Saint-Germain  had all been credited with an interest in the  Ivory Coast  international, who bagged an impressive 23 goals and 12 assists across all competitions in the 2018-19 season. Indeed, Napoli head coach  Carlo Ancelotti recently admitted to being in talks with the winger's representatives  , stating: "Obviously, we are interested in Pepe, his agents are here [in  Italy ] and there’s no point hiding that. Negotiations are in progress and we’ll see what happens." Arsenal have also been involved in negotiations and that the Gunners
