Paris Saint-Germain probably need to add more depth at the right-back position with Achraf Hakimi only being the reliable player at that position for the Ligue 1 side.
Over the last two years, the Parisians have focused on young talent who have yet to scratch their potential, and being French would be ideal. One player who fits this profile is Chelsea’s Malo Gusto.
Fichajes reports that Gusto has become a crucial part of the London club’s squad, attracting interest from teams like PSG. However, Chelsea’s high asking price could complicate the capital club’s efforts to sign him.
Chelsea signed Gusto in 2023 for €30 million, a significant sum for a full-back. Now, that amount seems like a bargain compared to the €60 million the English side are reportedly asking for his transfer.
This hefty price tag has raised concerns at PSG; while they are keen to bolster their defense, they may reconsider their pursuit if they believe the asking price is too steep for a player in his position.
Right now, it looks like Gusto’s future is at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea hope he continues to grow into one of the continent’s most exciting defenders. If PSG decide to pull back, other clubs might enter the fray, but few are likely to meet Chelsea’s demands.
