A disappointing sixth position, and a new upheaval with the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, replaced by Enzo Maresca. Chelsea has had another complicated season on the sporting level and hopes to recover during this 2024/2025 season with the Italian coach at the helm. At the same time, the management is working on the transfer window to build a solid team.
The names of Victor Osimhen (Naples) and Samu Omorodion (Atlético) thus come back insistently, while the arrival of Estevão Willian aka Messino has been confirmed for 2025. Recruits to strengthen the team now but also to prepare for the future. A trend that is increasingly marked among the big European clubs, who no longer hesitate to put astronomical sums on teenagers to anticipate and prevent them from leaving for the competition.
A gift prize
And according to World Sportsthere is a nugget from Barça who has caught the eye of the Londoners. It is Marc Guiu, a striker who has just celebrated his 18th birthday. He is currently negotiating an extension of his contract with Barça, his lease expiring in 2025. And unlike other young hopefuls, the Catalan is available at a gift price. His release clause is only 6 million euros, peanuts for Chelsea. This is why Barça is intensifying discussions for an extension, while Chelsea has expressed its interest.
The Blaugranas logically want to increase this release clause, which puts them in a position of obvious weakness against the clubs interested in Guiu, among which we also find Sevilla FC. This season, he has made 5 small appearances in all competitions under Xavi, playing 107 minutes in total. He still had time to score 2 goals, while he is currently playing in the play-offs for promotion to D2 with the Barcelona B team.
