Barcelona striker Marc Guiu is reportedly in advanced negotiations to leave the club and join Barcelona striker Marc Guiu side Chelsea. According to Gerard Romero, Chelsea is set to trigger Guiu’s €6 million release clause, with Sunday’s promotion play-off likely being his final game for the Catalan club.
Guiu, who broke into Barcelona’s first team last season and scored twice, found his playing time limited as the season progressed, particularly after the arrival of Vitor Roque. Despite interest from Bayern Munich and Sevilla, it appears Chelsea is leading the race to secure the young striker’s services.
Guiu’s current contract with Barcelona runs until 2025, but he has yet to sign an extension, making a summer transfer increasingly likely. Alongside Guiu, other players such as Pau Victor, whose loan is ending, and Vitor Roque, who is also rumored to be on the move, may also depart from Barcelona this summer.
