Liverpool has seen a last-minute proposal sent to Chelsea rejected in order to secure the loan of Malo Gusto, a 23-year-old right-back. This final move in Liverpool's signing, which has not closed its best market.

According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, negotiations ended unsuccessfully before the 11:00 PM deadline because the Merseyside entity only considered a simple loan without a mandatory purchase option, while the London-based leadership demanded a permanent sale.

The Financial Constraints of Liverpool against Chelsea's Demands

Liverpool's board ruled out a permanent transfer for the French international due to a lack of financial leeway after committing a large part of its summer budget to other areas of the squad. On the other hand, Chelsea's board refused to authorize a temporary departure to a direct Premier League rival without a guaranteed long-term purchase commitment.

The 23-year-old player, developed in Olympique Lyon's academy, had been on Anfield's technical committee's agenda for months. However, the opposing stances between both entities led to the breakdown of negotiations in the final stretch of the transfer market.

The Adaptation of Malo Gusto in Andoni Iraola's Tactical System

The request for a right-back was a demand from coach Andoni Iraola to increase internal competition on the right side of the defense for the 2026-27 season. The Basque coach considered Gusto an ideal fit for his high-intensity scheme due to his physical power and ability to advance in attack in the opponents' half.

Despite the coaching staff's insistence on adding depth in that position to face multiple competitions, the lack of agreement between clubs left the team without room to activate alternatives on the flank. The French player will remain under Stamford Bridge's discipline at least until the opening of the 2027 summer window.

Liverpool's first team will continue the competition with the registered players in the first squad for the right-back position. Iraola will turn to the youth team and tactical repositioning in the defensive line until Anfield's management evaluates in the 2027 winter market whether to bid again for a specialist in the right flank.
