Chelsea are reportedly looking to let right-back Malo Gusto go for £75 million after the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada, which kicked off two weeks ago.
Gusto - who's in action for France at the quadrennial event - is coming off a solid 2025-26 season with the Blues, contributing three goals and five assists in 49 games across competitions.
Since arriving from Olympique Lyon in January 2023, the 23-year-old has three strikes and 17 assists in 134 games across competitions for the Blues, with all three goals coming in the recently concluded campaign.
As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Blues aren't 'actively' looking to sell off Gusto, who has attracted interest from Manchester City, but there have been no bid for the player or talks between the two clubs so far.
With the Premier League giants signing Marco Palestra, Gusto might not be indispensable, with an offer around £75 million likely to test the Blues' resolve of keeping the Frenchman.
At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Gusto was on the bench for Les Bleus' campaign-opening 3-1 win over Senegal last week and featured for seven minutes in the 3-0 victory over Iraq.

The only Chelsea player in Roberto Martinez's Portugal squad, Pedro Neto has been a key player in A. Selecao's opening two games at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, setting up one goal.
While the 26-year-old is yet to score in this edition, he set up Joao Neves' sixth-minute opener in the campaign-opening 1-1 draw with DR Congo last week. Neto started the second group game against Uzbekistan on Tuesday (June 23) but was taken off after 45 minutes.
After a disappointing outing against Congo, Portugal captain Crstiano Ronaldo announced his arrival with a brace, becoming the first player to score in six different editions and the first to score 10 times at the Euros and the World Cup.
