17-year-old forward Malcom can stay at Corinthians, but he has asked for a huge salary increase.
According to the information provided by UOL Esporte, Malcom’s current contract is until May 2016 and he earns between €2,800 and €3,000 per-month. Corinthians are willing to increase his salary and the new contract would keep him at Timão until 2018. The report also states that Malcom has asked for a monthly salary around €31,000.
Corinthians own just 30% rights of Malcom and his representatives want the club to include a €13 million clause in his contract, meaning the club would have to release him if anyone meets that figure in the future. His agents also expects a proposal in the region of €13m by the middle of next year.
