Juventus Weigh January Move for Chelsea’s Malo Gusto, Reports Say
Italian reports point to exploratory contact for a possible January switch as the defender’s minutes shrink behind Reece James.
Overview
- Juventus are monitoring the 22-year-old right-back as they reassess options after pursuing Atlético Madrid’s Nahuel Molina.
- Club officials have reportedly sounded out Gusto’s representatives to gauge his openness to a move.
- No formal bid has been lodged, with the interest described as early-stage and exploratory.
- A later report claims Juventus are preparing a €50 million offer and that Chelsea could consider a sale to trim wages, though none of this is confirmed by the clubs.
- Gusto’s playing time has declined since Reece James returned to fitness, and his pace and crossing are viewed as a fit for Igor Tudor’s approach.
