Barcelona winger Malcom defends snubbing Roma

Barcelona winger Malcom has lifted the lid on his failed move to Roma.

The Italians remain angry over the way Malcom stalled his move from Bordeaux in order to give Barcelona time to close terms.

But the player told De Sola: "I never accepted Roma's offer, but my agents said yes. At that time I was happy, but when Barcelona came, which was my dream, playing with with the best in the world, training, evolving etc, going to Roma is also a dream, but one could do that later.

"I preferred to come to Barcelona to learn a lot, and that is what is happening. Sometimes I don't play much, but I learn things every day by watching the other players. I'm realising a dream and that is why I chose Barcelona."
