Torino

In 2007, after three years at Monaco, Malonga joined Torino, where he would stay until 2011. Malonga stated that he felt moving to Italy gave him confidence and that he wasn't scared. He made his Serie A debut on 23 September 2007, against A.C. Siena. However, his time at Torino was plagued with injuries. He spent a period on loan at Foggia while at Torino.

Cesena

After a successful loan with the Serie B champions, he signed for Cesena in a co-ownership deal for €750,000. In June 2011 Cesena acquired Malonga outright for another €1.4 million, making him cost €2.15 million. (i.e. they paid Torino an additional €650,000 on top of the €750,000 already booked in the balance sheets for co-ownership) He also signed a new 3+1 year contract. However the club relegated at the end of 2011–12 Serie A, which saw Malonga sent out on loan to other clubs for the rest of his contract.

On 31 August 2012, Malonga joined Serie B side Vicenza on a season-long loan. Malonga made his debut soon after against Cesena and scored in a 3–1 win. Malonga would then add three more goal in his next three games against Juve Stabia, Hellas Verona and Brescia Calcio. At the end of the season, Malonga had scored a total of 10 goals at Vicenza. On 2 September 2013, he joined Spanish Segunda División side Real Murcia on a season-long loan. After making the move to Spain, Malonga stated that his aim for the season was to score more than the ten goals he had produced at Vicenza. Malonga…

Born in Châtenay-Malabry, France, Malonga grew up in the suburbs of Paris to Congolese parents. Malonga grew up supporting Monaco, and later ended up joining the club's youth team. Malonga later described his time at Monaco, quoting: "It is beautiful and Monte Carlo is beautiful and we were very privileged, because in the stadium we had a school and everything we needed. It was a great, great, great centre. They don’t get many people going to their games, though. The money is good but the fans are not as good. It is better to play here."
