Malcom departs the Camp Nou after just one season following a somewhat controversial transfer from Bordeaux when the Blaugrana swooped in, paid a couple extra million and almost literally stole Malcom from AS Roma when the Brazilian was on a plane on his way to Rome.
The Russian Premier League is already three games old, with champions Zenit having won all of their opening games.
The sale of Malcom, meanwhile, frees up a non-EU place in Barcelona's squad. Last season, the three spots were taken by Arthur Melo, Arturo Vidal and Malcom.
