Atlético de Madrid has reactivated its interest in signing Malo Gusto, the French right-back from Chelsea, in anticipation of Marcos Llorente's possible departure in the future. The main goal for the upcoming transfer market at Atlético's signings is to revamp its squad.

Diego Pablo Simeone sees the French international as the ideal choice to fill the right flank after Marcos Llorente's contract ends in June, valuing the player at €35.00 million on Transfermarkt.

The rejection of the loan and Atlético de Madrid's stance with Chelsea

The 23-year-old defender has been at Chelsea since January 2023 and is under contract until 2030. The Atlético board previously requested a loan with a purchase option in the last transfer window, but the player firmly refused to leave Stamford Bridge on loan. This situation forces the Madrid team to consider a permanent transfer in winter or summer of 2027.

Even though the London club valued the full-back at £75 million last summer, his lack of significant playing time in the lineup may lead the British board to lower their economic demands.

🚨 Chelsea could lower their demands for Malo Gusto after valuing the defender at around £75M last summer. Atletico Madrid have explored a move, while Bayern Munich, Juventus, Tottenham and PSG have also been linked. Gusto wants to establish himself at Chelsea, but could seek a move if he cannot secure the role he wants. (Source: @Flashscorecom)

European competition for Malo Gusto and interest from Bayern Munich and PSG

In addition to Atlético de Madrid's project, clubs like Bayern Munich, Juventus, Tottenham, and PSG are monitoring the full-back's progress in the Premier League. Likewise, Manchester City had the player on their radar before the red and white club made its initial inquiries.

Internationally, the defender has 16 caps with the French national team. Despite his initial intention to secure a spot in the Stamford Bridge lineup, the player will consider a team change if he cannot guarantee the desired starting role.

Atlético's financial planning to accommodate Gusto's signing

Atlético's board plans to finance the operation by freeing up the salary that belonged to Marcos Llorente. This financial strategy will enable the Spanish club to submit a transfer proposal that aligns with the revised valuation from the Stamford Bridge hierarchy.

The Madrid executives believe that offering undisputed starting status on the right flank will be crucial in persuading the French defender. Atlético de Madrid's analysts will closely monitor Malo Gusto's performances in the Premier League throughout November and December 2026.

If the French player insists on leaving Chelsea to seek a more prominent role in another project, Atlético de Madrid will present a formal offer to try to secure his signing.
