After a series of negotiations: Malcom settles on his new destination | Goal.com
Al-Hilal's Brazilian winger Malcom has edged closer to a loan move to Al-Diriyah in the current window, a fresh step that settles his future after "the Boss" left him out of next season's plans.
Reliable journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Al-Hilal and Al-Diriyah have struck an agreement over Malcom's move to the newly promoted Roshn League side, with the loan running until the end of the current season.

Malcom had been one of the names tipped to leave Al-Hilal in recent weeks as the club looked to reshape its squad and sort out several issues surrounding its foreign professionals.
Qatari side Al-Sadd made a late push, keeping Malcom among their options. But the player chose to stay in the capital, Riyadh, and take on a fresh challenge with Al-Diriyah.
Money played its part too. Tavolieri says Malcom preferred to stay in Riyadh on a higher salary rather than move to Al-Sadd.
So Malcom stands on the brink of a new chapter in the Roshn League, this time in Al-Diriyah's shirt. Al-Hilal, meanwhile, get the chance to reshape their squad and cash in by loaning out one of their most prominent wingers this season.
