Manchester City agree personal terms with Chelsea's Malo Gusto for right-back role
Summary

Manchester City has reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, as they seek to bolster their defense this summer. Gusto, a 23-year-old French international, fits the profile of player City needs to support Matheus Nunes, who played a key role last season. Despite this progress, negotiations over a transfer fee may be complicated, with Chelsea expected to demand over £60 million for Gusto, who is under contract until 2030. City is hopeful of acquiring him for around £50 million, but discussions are ongoing.
