According to the BBC, Gusto has not started in the Premier League for over two months and is now open to leaving. In the Premier League and League Cup combined, he has played only 503 minutes, which is enough for him to reconsider his future. Last summer, Manchester City, pushed by Enzo Maresca, who had previously coached Gusto, showed interest in the French international. However, Chelsea's asking price of 80 million euros cooled off the deal.
But the situation has now changed. Gusto has seen little playing time at the club, and his market value is plummeting. Manchester City and Manchester United could make a move in the coming days. Manchester United may also soon finalize Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager, making the defender a key target for them.
Gusto joined Chelsea from Olympique Lyonnais in 2023 for a transfer fee of nearly 30 million euros. At the time, he was already considered one of the best full-backs in Ligue 1. The French player's contract with Chelsea runs until June 2030.
