Malcom Responds to Departure Rumors: 'Are You Crazy? My Contract is Ongoing'

Brazilian winger Malcom has put an end to the speculation surrounding his future with Al Hilal, responding in a sarcastic yet definitive manner to the possibility of leaving during the current summer transfer window.

Malcom has recently been linked with a transfer to Al-Dhahria, amid reports that Italian coach Simone Inzaghi does not rely on him in his plans for the new season.

The Brazilian winger's comments came after Al Hilal's match against Al Faisaly in the first round of the Roshn League, where the match ended with a 4-2 victory for the leader.

Malcom scored the second goal for Al Hilal in the match, finding the net from open play, while the other three goals for the champions came from penalties.

After the match, a reporter from MBC asked him about the possibility of it being his last appearance in Al Hilal's shirt, to which the player responded with clear sarcasm.

Malcom responded to the reporter: "Are you crazy? My contract is ongoing," in a direct message affirming his desire to remain with the club during this period.

Since his transfer to Al Hilal in 2023, Malcom has played 143 matches across all competitions, scoring 49 goals, and has contributed to the team winning six titles.

Malcom's achievements with Al Hilal include two Saudi Pro League titles, along with two King Abdulaziz Cup victories, while he scored nine goals during the 2025-2026 season.

The discussion about the player's future has resurfaced with Inzaghi taking over as head coach of Al Hilal. However, Malcom's recent statement clarifies his current position and confirms his commitment to the club under his existing contract.
