"Italian giants Juventus are eyeing a move for Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, according to Calciomercato. The French international, still only 22, has impressed in flashes since joining Chelsea from Lyon, but his limited game time and the resurgence of Reece James could open the door to a transfer. The Juventus hierarchy are said to be long-time admirers of the young defender and see him as a potential solution to the club's right-back dilemma,"
"The Serie A side had been close to agreeing a deal for Molina during the last transfer window but were ultimately unable to complete the move due to financial and timing constraints. Since then, the need for a dynamic full-back capable of contributing both defensively and offensively has remained a key priority. Gusto, who is known for his explosive pace and overlapping runs, is exactly the kind of player Juventus are looking to sign."
"At Chelsea, Gusto's development has been somewhat stifled by the continued presence of club captain James, whose return to full fitness has reduced the Frenchman's opportunities in the starting lineup. His performances have not gone unnoticed in Europe, and Juventus are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, aware that Chelsea could be open to selling if the right offer arrives."
Juventus are targeting Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto as a potential answer to their right-back needs. The 22-year-old French international moved to Chelsea from Lyon and has shown pace and attacking qualities through overlapping runs. Limited minutes at Chelsea, partly because of Reece James' return to fitness, have raised the prospect of a transfer. Juventus missed out on Nahuel Molina previously and remain keen on an offensive full-back while lowering squad age. Sporting directors have reportedly contacted Gusto's representatives to assess interest, but no formal bid has been submitted.
