Bayern Munich target Chelsea defender Malo Gusto but Vincent Kompany must get rid of a right-back first

According to Bild, the German side have been scouting the full-back lately, having even shown interest in him before he moved from Lyon to Chelsea in January 2023.

To date, Gusto has played a total of 80 competitive matches for Chelsea, providing 11 assists. Last season, the French international alternated between the bench and the starting line-up. According to reports, Chelsea would be willing to sell him. Captain Reece James is back after a long injury lay-off and 19-year-old Josh Acheampong is considered a promising prospect for the future.

Currently, though, Bayern's search for a new left winger is a top priority. It is proving difficult, however, with top target Athletic Club's Nico Williams appearing set to join Barcelona and Bradley Barcola unlikely to leave Paris Saint-Germain. Other targets such as Rafael Leao of AC Milan, Jamie Gittens of Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli and Gusto's Chelsea team-mate Christopher Nkunku are also being discussed.

Before Munich can make a serious bid for Gusto, they would also have to sell a right-back. The versatile Josip Stanisic and Konrad Laimer are part of the plans. Sacha Boey, who only joined from Galatasaray at the beginning of 2024, could leave the club.
