Gusto Explores Chelsea Exit

After Chelsea agreed a deal for Marco Palestra.

Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto is exploring a Stamford Bridge exit, with his representatives holding exploratory talks with clubs including Manchester City. Chelsea have set a price above £75m for the France defender after the Palestra deal.

The uncertainty follows Chelsea’s move for Marco Palestra, another right-back, and wider plans to sell players after missing Europe. City want a natural right-back, though Gusto is not considered their leading target at this stage.
