Transfer interest in Chelsea defender Malo Gusto

Overview

Chelsea defender Malo Gusto has become a subject of interest for several major European clubs following reports that his market valuation may decrease. During the summer transfer window, Liverpool reportedly attempted to secure a loan for the 23-year-old French international, but the move failed because Chelsea required a permanent transfer with an asking price of approximately £75m.

Recent reports indicate that Chelsea may be re-evaluating Gusto’s value due to questions regarding his role at the club, potentially making him available for a lower cost during the January window. Paris Saint-Germain is reportedly considering a move for the player to bolster defensive options and provide competition for Achraf Hakimi. While Gusto is under contract until June 2030 and reportedly feels settled in England, he is seeking a more guaranteed role as a long-term starter.

Manchester City has also emerged as a potential suitor for the fullback during the upcoming January window. Seeking to bolster its right-back position following the departure of Kyle Walker, City is reportedly interested in Gusto, a move supported by manager Enzo Maresca, who has previously worked with the player. However, City is expected to remain cautious regarding expenditures, with negotiations depending on whether Chelsea reduces its valuation to align with City’s economic strategy. Other clubs previously linked to the former Lyon player include Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Tottenham Hotspur.
