The transfer of Malo Gusto from Chelsea to Liverpool has collapsed, according to multiple reliable sources. The defender was thought to be close to a move, but both clubs have now stepped away. It potentially marks the end of a saga that had seemed likely to result in a done deal just a few days ago. With negotiations ending unsuccessfully, Malo Gusto will not join Liverpool - but interest from Atletico, Manchester City and Juventus could yet reignite. This season (26/27) Liverpool have shipped 4 goals in 2 matches - 2.0 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Malo Gusto would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Chelsea continue to be linked with Francisco Fernandes Conceicao, Lamine Camara and Iliman Ndiaye while Liverpool are also rumoured to be tracking Anton Kade, Ismaila Sarr and Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa.
