Personally, I think allowing Malo Gusto to leave Chelsea could be the best decision for both the player and the club.
Although Gusto is a talented young defender with plenty of potential, it appears that he is no longer a major part of the manager's plans. Chelsea have already brought in Palestra during the summer, and his arrival has made competition for the right-back position even stronger. As a result, Gusto's opportunities to play regularly have become limited.

At 23, Gusto is still at an important stage of his career where he needs to play regular football to improve, gain experience and establish himself as one of the best defenders in his position. Spending too much time on the bench will not help him achieve that.
I understand that Chelsea supporters might not be happy about losing another young talent, but football is also about making difficult decisions. We cannot keep every talented player in the squad when there are limited opportunities for everyone.
Manchester United and Manchester City reportedly showing interest in him could actually work in Chelsea's favour. With his age, experience and potential, Chelsea could demand a good transfer fee for his services.
For me, this is a situation where both sides can benefit. Gusto gets the opportunity to move to another club where he can enjoy more playing time and continue developing, while Chelsea receive a substantial transfer fee that could be invested in other areas of the squad.
I would rather see Chelsea make a reasonable profit from a player who is struggling for opportunities than keep him around without giving him the playing time he deserves.
Sometimes, letting a player go is not necessarily a bad decision. It can be the beginning of something better for everyone involved.
