Manchester City declined Chelsea’s asking prices for Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto

Manchester City pursued three Chelsea players during the summer transfer window, but ultimately acquired only Enzo Fernandez. Reports indicate that City scouted both Malo Gusto and Pedro Neto as potential reinforcements. The club abandoned interest in these two players because they were unwilling to meet the financial demands set by Chelsea. Specifically, City rejected an £80 million asking price for Malo Gusto. While Manchester City viewed Pedro Neto as an ideal winger, the club chose not to pursue a deal due to the anticipated fee. Chelsea remains active in other transfer business, having recently navigated negotiations involving Manu Kone and Lamine Camara.
