Chelsea Draws the Line: Blues Determined to keep right-back Amid PSG and Bayern Munich Interest

There are numerous top clubs interested in signing Malo Gusto from Chelsea this summer; however, the Blues are keen to keep hold of the defender going into next season.

Gusto has provided an excellent option for the Blues at right-back since joining from Lyon and has featured in 45 games so far this season.

He has frequently been called upon since joining to hold the fort while Reece James has been injured, and his quality has allowed managers to use the captain in central midfield too.

Who should be Levi Colwill’s center-back partner next season?

I disagree. I liken Acheampong to Franz Beckenbauer. If he had continued to play regularly after the Liverpool game where he showed class and bravery, Brian would have rated him better. A footballer not having regular game time over time results in self-doubts and loss of confidence, which is what is happening to Acheampong.

Nah, sorry, I’d send Achempong on loan; he has no pace, and I think his tackles aren’t strong enough; he doesn’t put himself about much, so for me, he needs to be put out on loan in the Championship, where tackles and teams are tougher.

Chelsea want to hand Malo Gusto new contract despite interest from PSG and Bayern Munich

His brilliance has been picked up by a number of top sides, with PSG and Bayern Munich amongst those tracking the defender.

However, Simon Phillips has stated that the Blues are ‘more than willing’ to keep Gusto and are even discussing offering him an improved contract at Stamford Bridge.

He said, “One player who is generating an interest for the summer is right back Malo Gusto, with four clubs tracking him ahead of a possible approach to his agents and to Chelsea.

“SPTC sources understand that PSG, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Inter Milan are all tracking Gusto ahead of the summer window opening up.

“It is unclear at the moment what the player’s stance is on any move, but we’ve heard that Chelsea are more than willing to keep Gusto, and he’s even one they may speak to about improved contract terms.”

Gusto is currently under contract until 2030; however, the way the club operates suggests a new deal could be coming his way soon.

You can only keep one, Enzo Fernández or Cole Palmer. Who are you choosing?

Keep Cole, dude can do things Enzo can’t. Although, TBF, they’re two very different players.

Hardly. He’s had a few good games recently, yes, but he’s gone missing in far too many this season. Palmer always has the ability to pull something out. If we’d kept Jackson and brought in only JP, we’d have had no issues. Jackson and Palmer clicked.

Keep Enzo. Palmer is starting to remind me of Fabregas, absolutely magic on his day but a passenger on other days. Inconsistency is a luxury we can’t afford. Enzo, in the meantime, is a beast every day.

Chelsea willing to reward players with contracts

This season has seen Moises Caicedo and Reece James sign new contracts, despite neither running towards the end of their deals.

The Blues are signing players on lower starting salaries, however, offering performance-based incentives as part of the deals.

There is still hope at the club that Enzo Fernandez will sign a new contract with the club despite his public admiration for the city of Madrid.

The decisions of the likes of Fernandez and Gusto could come down to who the club decides to hire as their new manager after parting ways with Liam Rosenior.
