Malcom featured 24 times for Barcelona in the previous campaign, and scored four goals for the Catalans, but looked set to leave the club this summer after clearly falling out of favour in the first team.
Zenit expressed an interest in signing the Brazilian this summer transfer window, and have finally got their man in a deal that appears to be good for all involved.
