Bayern Munich interested in signing Chelsea’s Malo Gusto

Bayern Munich have made an inquiry regarding the potential transfer of Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, according to a report from L’Équipe. The 22-year-old is currently in the United States with Chelsea, preparing for the FIFA Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Gusto joined Chelsea in January 2023 for €30 million but spent the remainder of that season on loan at his formative club. Since becoming a regular at Stamford Bridge, the former Lyon defender has made 84 appearances for Chelsea, contributing 11 assists. This includes six appearances at the ongoing Club World Cup.

Bayern are seeking to strengthen their right-back position this summer, with Sacha Boey expected to depart. Marseille and Galatasaray have shown interest in the 24-year-old French defender. Should Boey leave, it could create an opportunity for Bayern to pursue Gusto, though Chelsea's willingness to sell the French international remains uncertain.
