Everton have turned their attention to Denis Suarez after learning that Malcom is eager to stay at Barcelona.
Spanish outlet Sport report that the midfielder is in talks over a move away from the Nou Camp, with Everton, Watford and West Ham all keen.
Arsenal and Chelsea are also long-term admirers and have been linked with January deals to bring the player to the Premier League.
Suarez is out of favour at Barcelona and has failed to break into their first-team squad this season, with a move to England edging closer.
Teams in Spain are also believed to be interested and the report claims that Barcelona will allow the player to decide on his next move.
Everton have recently enquired about a deal to sign Malcom from Barcelona, but the Brazilian winger is keen to stay at the Nou Camp and fight for his place.
Serie A side Milan are very keen to sign the player this month but are only offering a loan deal, while Barcelona are looking to cash in and secure a permanent deal for at least €10 million.
