Manchester City pursues Malo Gusto transfer from Chelsea this summer

Manchester City is exploring a £45 million transfer for Chelsea's Malo Gusto, aiming to reinforce their right-back position ahead of the upcoming season. The club's director of football, Hugo Viana, is looking to reunite incoming manager Enzo Maresca with Gusto, who previously thrived under him at Chelsea. Gusto's familiarity with Maresca could facilitate a smoother integration into City's squad transition. Additionally, Newcastle's Tino Livramento is also under consideration as a potential target. As the summer transfer window approaches, City aims to finalize the right-back position before Maresca's pre-season begins next month.
