Sixty-seven days after winning their second Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain played again last night. And the French and European champions started this new exercise with a 3-0 friendly defeat against Mallorca, relegated to the Spanish second division. But it must be remembered that the Parisians were deprived of several internationals, not counting the recruits who will arrive. Lucas Digne and Maghnes Akliouche, whose arrivals have not been made official, will join the capital club during this offseason.
The residents of the Parc des Princes are also moving their pawns behind the scenes to get their hands on Zion Suzuki (Parma) and Mika Godts (Ajax Amsterdam). Two less obvious files, but negotiations are continuing. These are perhaps not the only players who could join Paris. This Thursday, The Sun reveals that the Ile-de-France residents are following a trail leading to another French player. This is Malo Gusto. Aged 23, the native of Décines-Charpieu trained at Olympique Lyonnais before being transferred to Chelsea in 2023 for €35 million.
PSG on Gusto?
Since then, the right-back has continued his progress on the other side of the Channel. Last season, he participated in 49 matches in all competitions with the Blues (3 goals and 5 assists). He was also selected for the French team during the 2026 World Cup. His first. At the same time, its future was at the center of debate. As revealed on our site, Manchester City, looking for a right-back, has checked his name. Chelsea did not close the door on the departure of Frenchy, valued at €87 million. Which is considered high despite its qualities and potential. It’s hard to imagine Paris spending so much.
The Sun also specifies that the Parisian management is studying his case to find out if he is worth this price. The English media assures that his profile appeals to PSG, in particular to Luis Enrique who validated this lead to offer an understudy to Achraf Hakimi. It wasn’t really Paris’ priority this summer in terms of recruitment, especially since Warren Zaire-Emery was satisfactory when it came to replacing the Moroccan. It remains to be seen whether the Gusto track will go further. In France, this lead has not been confirmed. What is certain is that Chelsea are open to his sale, especially after the transfer of Marco Palestra.
