Juventus have intensified their search for reinforcements on the right flank ahead of the January 2026 transfer window, and eyes are now firmly fixed on Chelsea’s Malo Gusto. La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Calciomercato) report how earlier in the year, Nahuel Molina of Atletico Madrid appeared close to a summer switch, but negotiations fell through, leaving the Argentine defender as a player to monitor for possible future interest.
With the club seeking depth and dynamism at right-back, attention has shifted to Gusto — a French international who joined Chelsea from Lyon in 2023 and has quickly adapted to Premier League football under manager Enzo Maresca. At just 22, Gusto has already clocked over 400 minutes this season, starting four times and coming off the bench three times, showcasing his pace, technical skill, and tactical versatility.
Juventus value his ability to perform both in a back four and in systems that demand wing-backs, making him an appealing option for Igor Tudor’s evolving squad. His youth and potential for further growth are also seen as essential attributes, offering a sustainable investment for the future. While Molina remains on the radar, the club is actively considering a bid for Gusto to address some clear gaps in the right-back position. Juventus are poised to step up their approach, hoping to strengthen the side as they continue their rebuild for a new era.
