AC Milan exploring deal for Chelsea right-back

AC Milan have joined Manchester City in the pursuit of Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto this summer.

The Frenchman has been a solid deputy for Reece James over the past few seasons, but could be on the move soon.

Chelsea have just signed a new right-back in Marco Palestra from Atalanta.

Gusto is the likely candidate to move on as a result. Manchester City are said to be interested in his services.

Former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca recently took charge of the Cityzens and he is eyeing a reunion with Gusto.

Man City could face potential competition from AC Milan, who have an ambitious project under manager Ruben Amorim.

They have just spent 60 million pounds to land Goncalo Ramos as a new striker from Paris Saint-Germain. The fee could be higher with add-ons in the future.

The Rossoneri are prepared to back their new manager and could go head-to-head with Man City to land Gusto in the near future.
