The German pair have stolen a march on Tottenham who opted to sign Lucas Moura last month after their enquiries for Malcom hit a brick wall.
But despite adding Moura, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was set for another tilt at the winger.
Dortmund, a whopping 20 points behind Bayern in the Bundesliga are still looking to replace Ousmane Dembele who joined Barcelona last year.
As Dembele headed for the Nou Camp, Dortmund tried to land Malcom, but were turned down and will push again to land thier main target this summer.
Bordeaux are resigned to losing Malcom at the end of the season, but are demanding more than £50million for their prized asset who has bagged eight Ligue 1 goals this term.
The Samba kid admitted he wanted out last month but new boss Gus Poyet told him he was staying until the end of the campaign.
