Now a Chelsea player, Malo Gusto ensures that he maintains his link with OL. Despite some criticism upon his departure, the defender “kept the same love” for his training club.
He is, like his friends Castello Be careful (Leipzig) et Bradley Stagger (PSG), the symbol of an Olympique Lyonnais which no longer sees the best elements of its training center growing sustainably with the first team. In 2023, Malo Gusto signed with Chelsea, after having played 61 matches in all competitions with his training club.
Bought in the 2023 winter transfer window by the Blues, he wore the Rhone jersey for six more months. An important member of the English team (eight starts in ten days), he keeps an eye on the seven-time French champions. “I remain a lifelong supporter of OL, these are moments that you cannot forget, it would be ungrateful to say otherwise, he confided to FreeFoot. Afterwards yes, it's sure that there are regrettable things at the end with the criticism, but it's football, we have to accept it. Now, this does not mean that my love for Olympique Lyonnais is any less, it is still the same. So as soon as possible, I watch the matches.”
I'm happy that OL can rebuild.”
He is also optimistic for the future of the Rhone team. “I'm happy that they can still rebuild little by little, and put Lyon back where it should be too. They managed to recruit well, there is a good squad. I was able to speak with Rayan Cherki and Maxence He would lie downthey told me that the quality there is important, so it's a good thing for the group, for the club, he commented. I'm happy that they can be competent again and can win as much as possible.”
