Malo Gusto to Chelsea

One thing is for sure, we shouldn’t need to buy any new defenders for awhile. 

 
If this does happen, a few people have mentioned it that it could save us some money this January and use Reece at CM.

 
Breaking : Chelsea’s first offer for Gusto was £17m, new offer coming between £26-£35m, Gusto was guaranteed playing time, discussions ongoing

Lyon are still fighting to have him back on loan for 6 months

Seems like this is going to happen. Just a matter of if he joins in January or the summer.

To go from 17mill to 35mill is way to big a jump to make. 

He has 18months left and Lyon get zip all if they hold on to him.

 
Reading now that it is likely that he will stay there on loan. Hmm will we ever see him anyway then.

Runours popping up United want him and would let him stay there until the summer, probably made by Lyon as it suits them.

Ideally he comes now but that is up to our negotiation team. If he stays there then we are essentially buying him with a year left on his deal, so the price should reflect that.

 
Feel like this one gets done for around £30m maybe £40m with add ons as I mentioned yesterday. Lyon were hoping we could loan him back to them until the summer, but that doesn't help us right now. 

Being reported we won't entertain this and only want an outright purchase with him joining up in the winter window.

Lyon apparently looking at a replacement RBs, supposedly the main target is a player Arsenal are monitoring, and they will look to pip them for him (which is all the better for us).

Yeah Lyon arranging cover could be the hold up and we are in no rush with a free weekend. I reckon you are right and the basics of the deal is agreed already.

 
Thoughts on this fella @BordeauxBlue

Apparently somewhere in the French media he has been said to have told Lyon he is going to join us and wont accept any contract offer from them or anyone else.

 
I have this coffeemaker at home that makes coffee from these small pods. I am pretty sure I have this nice dark roast coffee pods named Malo Gusto 🤣🤣...

Can't get around his name to be fair. Same was way back with Khalid Boulahrouz. 🤣

 
Not much time for any more deals. Wonder if it’s contingent on ziyech leaving. Romano is mum on gusto last couple of days. Think this mat be in doubt. 

 
Ironically, Lamptey is being linked with going to Lyon as possible replacement for Gusto if he comes to us. Ironic as Lamptey is a player who came through our academy and had many fans questioning why we let him go as he was a real livewire when he burst on to scene for Brighton. This season, I think he has managed 1 league start which is really strange. Seemed to have fallen out of favour under Potter and now Zerbi too.

It's not the whole truth to say that we let Tariq go. He refused to extend and gave us no choice.

Yes, exactly. It would irritate me when pundits alike and our own fans criticised us for letting him go when they did not comprehend he had half a year left on his contract. We would have lost him on a free. We played Brighton last season and both games was 1-1. In both games, all commentators kept saying was "how Chelsea must regret selling him". Just utter tosh. Ironically now, he probably would have got more chances here if he stayed.

 
“Olympique Lyon president Aulas: “I can confirm that Malo Gusto will stay here at least until the end of the season”. 🔵 #CFC

Chelsea are prepared to return with new proposal as personal terms are agreed — but OL wanna keep Gusto.“

Might be mind games?
