Stand-off developing over Chelsea full-back
Two weeks ago, this one looked close. Now it is anything but.
Manchester City’s pursuit of Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto has hit a wall over valuation, with the club refusing to meet the £75m asking price. Fabrizio Romano reports the deal has stalled, despite Enzo Maresca’s long-standing admiration for the player.
Romano’s own framing made the situation clear enough: a move that once appeared all but agreed has become a stand-off.
