Marc Guiu To Undergo Chelsea Medical.
Barcelona striker Marc Guiu is set to travel to London to undergo a medical ahead of his proposed move to Chelsea.
The Athletic reported Chelsea had reached an agreement in principle to sign Guiu on a contract until 2030 and were set to activate a €6million release clause in his Barcelona contract.
He is being seen as a Chelsea acquisition rather than one for Strasbourg, who are in their multi-club model and are used as an alternative venue to develop players.
Guiu is a product of Barcelona’s La Masia youth academy, having been at the club since 2013.
He rose to prominence last season after scoring a match-winning goal in October’s 1-0 win against Athletic Bilbao, becoming Barcelona’s youngest-ever player to score on debut, at the age of 17 years and 291 days. He went on to feature seven times for the first team last season.
Chelsea have been in the market for striking reinforcements this summer, with Nicolas Jackson their first-choice centre-forward last season.
