Marc Guiu
Sunderland AFC is poised to enhance their squad with the addition of Chelsea’s promising young striker, Marc Guiu. The 19-year-old, who previously played for Barcelona, is expected to join the Black Cats on a season-long loan. This move comes amid interest from other clubs such as Leeds United and RB Leipzig, but Sunderland appears to have won the race for his signature. The agreement reportedly includes no option-to-buy clause, indicating Chelsea’s intention to retain Guiu as part of their long-term plans.
Romano said: “Sunderland agree deal to sign Marc Guiu on loan from Chelsea, here we go! Deal in place for straight loan, no buy option clause as Guiu remains part of Chelsea long term plans. Salary covered by SAFC as he’ll be an important striker for Le Bris plans.”
Keith Downie stated: “Sunderland have reached agreement with Chelsea for striker Marc Guiu. The 19yo has agreed to a season-long loan deal, as per our exclusive yesterday.”
Guiu, who joined Chelsea from Barcelona last summer, has made a notable impact during his brief stint with the club. He featured in 16 first-team matches last season, seven of which were in the Europa Conference League, where he scored six goals. His time at Barcelona also saw him score twice in seven appearances, including a memorable debut goal against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. Known for his physical presence and pressing ability, Guiu is expected to play a significant role in Sunderland’s attacking plans under manager Regis Le Bris.
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has previously praised Guiu’s development, highlighting his growing readiness for top-level competition. Guiu’s move to Sunderland is seen as a strategic step in his career, offering him valuable playing time and experience in the competitive environment of the Championship.
The loan deal reflects Sunderland’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad as they aim for promotion. With Guiu’s addition, the club hopes to bolster their attacking options and enhance their chances of success in the upcoming season.
