Man Utd and Man City eye £75m transfer for Chelsea's Malo Gusto

Manchester United and Manchester City are closely monitoring Chelsea defender Malo Gusto, who has lost his starting role to Josh Acheampong under Xabi Alonso. The 23-year-old has been limited to just three Premier League starts this season. Chelsea values Gusto at £75 million as speculation around his potential departure grows. Both Manchester clubs have an interest in acquiring the defender, with City previously seeking to bring him in during the summer. However, ongoing financial regulatory issues at the Etihad Stadium complicate matters for City. With both clubs undergoing managerial transitions, it remains uncertain when they will formally approach for Gusto as the January transfer window approaches.
