According to RMC Sport', Chelsea have convinced Olympique Lyon full-back Malo Gusto to join them. The player has already said "yes" to the Blues' offer. Madrid, Barcelona and Man Utd, the three of the clubs interested in his services, are still behind in the bidding.

Right-back Malo Gusto has a contract until 2024 with OL. Many teams are on his trail, as his contract is about to expire.

Among the clubs interested in the Frenchman are Barca, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea. According to 'RMC Sport', the first three are going to have a hard time getting him, as the Blues have moved quickly.

The aforementioned source claims that Malo Gusto has already agreed a deal with Chelsea to join the Stamford Bridge side in June. The defender has accepted the English club offer.

The Blues, with the approval of Malo Gusto, have already sent their offer to Olympique Lyon. What remains to be done now is the most difficult part: to reach an agreement with the French club in financial terms.

Madrid and Barca are said to have been overtaken by Chelsea. United, for their part, have reportedly asked Malo Gusto not to make a hasty decision, but the player seems to have his mind made up.
