Chelsea has become more open to selling Malo Gusto amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain. The London club would be willing to consider suitable offers for the right-back, whose value was put at around £75 million during the last summer transfer window.
Paris Saint-Germain’s interest could give the club an opportunity to make a move, as Chelsea appears more receptive to discussing a potential sale. Gusto appeals to the French club because he can play in several defensive positions. That versatility could give the coach more options, particularly at right-back, where Achraf Hakimi plays.
Gusto is reportedly comfortable at Chelsea under Xabi Alonso, but wants assurances about regular starts. His prospects of playing and the role he would have in the team could therefore influence his future at the English club.
No official offer from Paris Saint-Germain has been reported. Chelsea’s willingness to listen to proposals could nevertheless pave the way for an approach from the Paris club, which is considering strengthening its defensive options. Gusto’s decision would also depend on his opportunities to play regularly and his place in the team.
