Bordeaux coach Jocelyn Gourvennec concedes Malcom could be on the move in the coming days.
Arsenal are regarded as favourites to land Malcom, though fresh competition from Germany is arriving. Among clubs keen are Borussia Dortmund.
Gourvennec, meanwhile, accepts the Brazilian will soon be on his way.
He told L'Equipe: "I'm not unaware that he has interest from across the world. With Malcom, I live from day to day.
"There are enquiries and it makes sense. I hope we will succeed in keeping him. And if he leaves, he will be replaced."
