Journalist Simon Phillips claims that Manchester City has shown interest in acquiring Chelsea’s Malo Gusto. The French international right-back’s exceptional play with the Blues this season is the reason for this. Trent Alexander-Arnold’s future on Merseyside is becoming increasingly questionable, and it may become necessary to bring in a backup right-back to take on Conor Bradley. Longtime employee Kyle Walker’s future at right-back is uncertain considering his recent performance, and Man City is dealing with their own problems.
The Reds’ Bradley and the Sky Blues’ Rico Lewis and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey are both reserves who can fill in for the usual first-team right-backs. But both teams may seek to add fullbacks as a result of the increasing demands on their schedules. Chelsea has a history of selling players to rival teams, and it is said that West London club is not interested in negotiating the potential transfer of Gusto.
Manchester City Interested in Chelsea Defender
Even though it may sound harsh considering all of the issues they are currently dealing with, Manchester City has one obvious weakness, and that is their own captain. The 34-year-old Walker is past his prime and the focus of Guardiola’s defense’s constant errors. More than ever, Gusto would immediately replace the aging defense.
The Chelsea manager told reporters, as reported by Fabrizio Romano earlier this season: “Fantastic player.” It should come as no surprise that the right-back has become the focus of Maresca’s admiration. I’m thrilled with Malo. He is providing us with a lot. He is greatly assisting the process in the manner in which we wish to play. He’s doing fantastically. He is the best for his age. In the case of Gusto, City may have the opportunity to welcome players from Chelsea at a pivotal moment for those at The Etihad, though it would undoubtedly be a surprise deal.
