Chelsea defender Malo Gusto is reportedly looking to leave the club this summer, according to the BBC. However, the London giants have slapped a hefty £75 million price tag on him.
The 23-year-old right-back is said to be concerned about his future at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea secured a deal for Marco Palestra from Atalanta, who plays in the same position. Gusto's representatives have reportedly contacted Manchester City, offering him to the club. City is expected to appoint Enzo Maresca, with whom the Frenchman worked for 18 months in London.
Despite being active in the transfer market, Chelsea is anticipated to offload several players after failing to qualify for European competitions. The club has already sold Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid for £52 million. The Spanish giants are also reportedly interested in Enzo Fernandez, but Chelsea is demanding £120 million for his services.
Chelsea plans to acquire at least one central defender, even though they have numerous players in that position whose futures at Stamford Bridge are uncertain. Trevoh Chalobah, who has attracted interest from Como, Tosin Adarabioyo, and Wesley Fofana, could all be on their way out of the club.
