Malo Gusto\u2019s future at Chelsea is uncertain right now as the defender continues to be linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the summer, some of Europe\u2019s biggest clubs were interested in him, including clubs from England. Liverpool were keen on Gusto<\/a>, but Chelsea\u2019s<\/a> price tag was a stumbling block.<\/p>\n

\n

The right-back was also said to have been on Bayern Munich\u2019s radar. Nothing materialised in the end and it is likely to be the same story in January.<\/p>\n

Bayern Munich won\u2019t make bid for Malo Gusto in January<\/h2>\n

While Bayern are being linked with Gusto<\/a> once again, German journalist Christian Falk says there is nothing in it. According to Falk, Bayern will not be making a bid for the 23-year-old in the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n

On the Bayern Insider<\/a> podcast, Falk was asked about the Gusto links. In response, he said: \u201cBayern have been interested in him before, but no, they\u2019re not going to pay \u20ac90 million for him \u2014 the price quoted last summer. I think he\u2019ll be cheaper this winter, but even then, Bayern won\u2019t make a move at that price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex Scott could be available in January! If Chelsea sign him, what impact do you think he\u2019ll make on the midfield?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

When it was mentioned that Gusto actually translates to \u201cbad taste\u201d, Falk then said: \u201cA Bayern official gave me exactly that response when I asked whether there was any interest in Malo Gusto. He said, \u2018No, it\u2019s a bad taste.\u2019 And perhaps they don\u2019t want to make their taste any worse, so they\u2019ll keep their hands off him for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gusto is not the only Chelsea star who has been linked to Bayern. In the past, Bayern have also shown interest in Josh Acheampong<\/a>. However, he will not be going anywhere.<\/p>\n

Chelsea view Acheampong as untouchable, while the young defender has been getting opportunities this season. He started in the Blues\u2019 5-1 win over Bournemouth last Saturday and will have no reason to push for a move if he keeps on playing.<\/p>\n

Why Malo Gusto could still leave Chelsea<\/h2>\n

Whether Bayern come in for Gusto or not, a January exit still seems like a possibility. Xabi Alonso<\/a> has several options in the right wing-back position right now, and they are all better going forward than Gusto.<\/p>\n

Pedro Neto, Marco Palestra and Reece James can all play the role. Neto is a natural winger, so it is no surprise that he has offered much more there than Gusto.<\/p>\n

Neto is creating a lot of chances<\/a> from the right wing-back position. In fact, in the furthest forward zone on the right-hand side, he is producing more shot-creating actions per 90 minutes than any other player in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Defensively, you would also have to put James above Gusto. Because of that and how well Neto has adapted to the right wing-back position, Chelsea should consider offers for Gusto in the new year.<\/p>\n
