Manchester City May saw Pep Guardiola step down and is in the process of appointing his successor.
Enzo Maresca is set to become the new manager at the Etihad. Manchester City have not yet confirmed his arrival, but they are already working on strengthening their squad.
The Premier League side are on the verge of signing Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson as they look to improve in other areas.
This also includes the right-back position and City have identified Chelsea's Malo Gusto as one of their main targets.
Manchester City are moving for Gusto
is according to foot marketWho said the club have made progress in contacting the France international to understand his stance on a summer move.
The reaction to the 23-year-old has been positive and he has agreed to join Manchester City to reunite with Enzo Maresca.
He played 72 matches under the Italian at Stamford Bridge. The imminent move to the Etihad has been the main selling point for convincing the former Lyon man.
Malo maintains a good relationship with Gusto Maresca and is confident of playing a key role in his plans in Manchester.
After taking a significant step forward in the operation, Manchester City will have to agree terms with Chelsea, which will be difficult.
The Blues are attracting interest from a number of players, including Gusto, who is under contract until 2030. This gives them an edge during negotiations.
Our opinion: Why Chelsea could sell
Reece James and Malo Gusto were Stamford Bridge's two right-backs last season.
The Blues are moving towards the signing of Atalanta's Marco Palestra, having already traveled to britain One for medical. He is likely to compete with James for a spot in the starting lineup next season.
Gusto will drop down the pecking order, and Chelsea are best off cashing in on his sale rather than leaving him on the bench or in the stands.
