Reports have circulated in the media that forward midfielder Malkom may soon return to Zenit. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Former player of the "blue-white-blue" team Pavel Pogrebnyak shared his thoughts on this matter. In his opinion, the current squad of the St. Petersburg team is already filled with foreign players.
According to Pogrebnyak, Malkom's return would be good news for the team, as he is a very skilled player. However, it seems difficult for him to find a place in the team at the moment.
Malkom could become one of the stars of the Russian championship, but there is little confidence in his return. Malkom defended the honor of Zenit from 2019 to 2023.
During this period, he played in 109 official matches, scored 42 goals, and provided 24 assists. In the summer of 2023, Zenit sold him to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal club.
In the first round of the new season, Zenit will host Rostov at home. The team is also considering making significant changes regarding Brazilian players.
