Chelsea Football Club is close to signing Marc Guiu from Barcelona. The teenager is known for his attacking abilities and is expected to make a significant impact in the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Chelsea aims to bolster their forward line to support Nicolas Jackson, and the 18-year-old's £5 million release clause has reportedly been agreed upon. Guic was initially linked with Bayern Munich but has now chosen Chelsea after discussions with the club's representatives. He is also in talks to extend his contract with Barcelona.
What will Marc Guiu bring to Chelsea?
In terms of his playing history, Guiu made his senior debut in October 2023 and scored two goals in seven appearances across La Liga and the Champions League during the 2023/24 season. The Spanish striker was the joint-leading scorer at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in 2023, with four goals, and was named in the team of the tournament.
What does this deal mean to Chelsea?
This deal represents a cost-effective move for Chelsea, as they will acquire Guic's talent and experience for a relatively small fee of £5 million. Since the club's ownership change, there have been concerns about overspending on players, but this deal seems to be a smart investment.
Will Chelsea loan Guiu away from the club next season?
As for Guic's future with Chelsea, there has been no news regarding a potential loan, but there is a possibility that he could be included in the first-team squad.
