Como are interested in Chelsea right-back Malo Gusto, who is considering leaving Stamford Bridge in January, and Milan are also monitoring him.

According to reports via TuttoMercatoWeb, Chelsea are open to letting the 23-year-old leave in the winter window. Gusto joined from Lyon in 2023 and has impressed at times, but he hasn’t started any of Chelsea’s last six Premier League games. He wants regular football so he can stay in contention with France.

Como and Milan in race for Gusto

Como have been the surprise package of the Champions League this season, highlighted by their record-breaking 9-1 win at Lens. Cesc Fàbregas’ side are now looking to strengthen their squad for the second half of the campaign.

They face plenty of competition. Milan, Atlético Madrid and RB Leipzig are all keeping a close eye on the Frenchman, and a race could start if Chelsea decide to sell.

The Rossoneri have been short of options at right-back. Alexis Saelemaekers is out long-term, and Ruben Amorim has used Yunus Musah there in recent weeks.

Gusto’s attacking ability on the flank, his age and his potential make him one of the most appealing players likely to be available in January.
