Fabrizio Romano (citing Guillem Balague) has reported that Chelsea They are interested in signing Marc Guiu Barcelona Bayern Munich also “shows interest” in the star.
The Blues are “exploring a move” for the Spaniard, who is “available” for a £5m release clause, according to the transfer insider information, while they seek to develop their new transfer strategy.
Lately, Chelsea have invested in signing younger players with high potential rather than spending exorbitant sums of money on already established names in Europe.
While his approach is a low-risk affair due to the paltry prices that younger players endure, the first division This party has also come under scrutiny for its lavish spending in recent months.
Guiu is another target that fits into Todd Boehly's plan to add cheaper players to the team, with the signing of a center forward highly in play to add depth to the first team.
The 18 year old scored one goal each in the Champions League and La Liga for Barcelona last season and is one of the most promising names to have recently graduated from La Masia.
Chelsea is more attractive to Guiu than Bayern
Marc Guiu has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich, according to Fabrizio Romano's publication in X, but the Bavarians may follow Chelsea in their attempt to sign the youngster.
They already have Harry Kane in their squad, indispensable in the starting eleven, and another promising forward, Mathys Tel, and the Frenchman is expected to be one of the club's future players.
Guiu's development would be slowed if he joined Bayern Munich, but the same cannot be said if he opts for a transfer to Stamford Bridge as he will be competing for a place with a host of younger names.
Enzo Maresca has also trained the Elite Development Squad in city of manchester and knows how to create a path for a young player's development, which Guiu can factor into his decision-making.
Barcelona, however, are interested in retaining the player by negotiating a new contract. As he is a local Catalan talent, it should come as no surprise that Guiu stays with the La Liga team.
