Manchester City pursues Malo Gusto as right-back target in transfer window
Summary

Manchester City is reportedly focused on signing Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto during the summer transfer window. With other right-back options dwindling, City has received the green light to pursue Gusto, who has been identified as the primary target to enhance cover for Matheus Nunes. The team has completed other signings, including players Elliot Anderson, Pierce Charles, Mathys Detourbet, and Jeremy Monga. Chelsea's signing of Marco Palestra may facilitate Gusto's potential transfer. Discussions between City and Gusto's representatives have taken place, but progress may be slow as he is currently participating in the World Cup with France.
