Messino, Kendry Paez… for several months now, Chelsea has started to get its hands on young talents labeled as future world-class players. Coming out of a rather exciting season to follow with the Stamford Bridge residents who finished in sixth place after a sluggish start to the season, Chelsea showed that it was on the right track for the coming years. Aspiring to become a big name across the Channel again on home soil and in Europe, the team chaired by Todd Boehly was bound to be active on the transfer market.
To do this, the capital club knew that it needed a top-class striker to move up a gear. Despite Nicolas Jackson’s interesting season, Chelsea therefore checked off several names to compete with the Senegalese. From then on, the names of Victor Osimhen and Viktor Gyokeres were mentioned. However, another file was progressing in parallel and was quite unexpected. Eager to attract the best stars across the globe, Chelsea had checked off the name of Marc Guiu. And the trail leading to the young Spanish prodigy has clearly gained serious momentum in recent days.
Marc Guiu is over the moon to join Chelsea
This Monday, the London club announced the recruitment of the 18-year-old talent from FC Barcelona. The 18-year-old center forward, author of two goals in seven appearances for Barça, has signed for the next five seasons with the English club. He will join his new teammates for their summer tour and has an additional year as an option in his contract. A huge coup for the Londoners who get their hands on one of the future faces of Spanish football according to several observers.
The young Iberian expressed his pride in the club’s press release: “It’s a huge joy to sign for Chelsea and I had trouble sleeping before the trip here because I was so excited. Ever since I was little, my dream was to play in the Premier League. Now I have the opportunity to come here to Chelsea and I will work my hardest to succeed for the club.» As a reminder, the Blues have also made a big financial coup. Not hesitating to take out the checkbook to recruit its players in the past, the English club attracted the star for only six million euros, the price of his release clause, according to several Spanish media. A great deal to be confirmed on the pitch now.
