Stuck in the João Gomes operation and in his degreasing operation (Faivre, Reine-Adelaïde, Toko-Ekambi), OL recruitment manager Bruno Cheyrou did not come to the Chelsea offensive for Malo Gusto. The Lyon leader, who was already struggling to find a right-back to compete with his indisputable 19-year-old holder (15 Ligue 1 matches this season), may have to find two. As mentioned yesterday, Chelsea launched a first offensive to the tune of 20 M€ according to our information.
An offer rejected by the Rhone club which does not intend to deprive itself of its only professional right side. Problem: OL No. 27, who is under contract until June 2024, wants to go to Chelsea (and only there). A carefully considered choice of the player who had not planned to leave this winter but who cannot remain insensitive to the attack of the Blues. The insatiable English club has submitted a contract proposal to match its desire to recruit him, almost never seen for a 19-year-old right-back. Then, the Blues, starting with Graham Potter, gave serious sporting guarantees to the player who is guaranteed to play a certain number of matches as a starter during the second part of the season.
OL have no plan B and are hoping for a six-month loan from Gusto
You should know that the only specialist in the position within the London club (Azpilicueta did not convince, Chalobah either), the 23-year-old English international Reece James has been injured since October (he relapsed at the end of December) and can anyway evolve in midfield. The prospect of arriving more quickly in the French team thanks to the international exposure of the English club (Chelsea will face BVB in the knockout stages of the Champions League) should not be overlooked. The Blues, who remember, do not have a real specialist in the position currently (Koundé and Pavard are basic centrals).
Missing the most important, namely a second offensive of the Blues. According to our information, it is imminent and will oscillate between 30 and 40 M€. At that price, OL will no doubt have to resign themselves to letting their jewel slip away. But Bruno Cheyrou, who has no solid plan B to replace him, tries to do everything to convince Gusto to stay until the end of the season. An option for the moment which is neither considered by the international hopeful tricolor, nor by Chelsea who intends to benefit immediately from their recruit once purchased…
