Barcelona’s Marc Guiu is without doubt one of the strikers being linked with Chelsea proper now and as we reported right here Sunday morning, we will affirm too that he’s completely of curiosity to Chelsea proper now and talks are occurring. He’s additionally wished by Bayern Munich, and Barcelona even have a brand new contract supply on the desk for him.
We’re not sure in the intervening time whether or not he shall be for the primary crew now, or if he would exit on mortgage, however preliminary ideas from SPTC sources is that he would go on mortgage, or stick with Chelsea U21s. The dependable youth insider The Secret Scout has prompt he would exit on mortgage, and Matteo Moretto of Relevo has additionally talked about a mortgage to Strasbourg.
He does look excellent, and the most important factor for me is he’s the precise striker profile (not expertise and age smart) that we’d like. He’s bodily, tall (6ft 2in at simply 18 means he’ll develop much more and will probably attain 6ft 3 or 4in), and is a extra traditional-style quantity 9 however with an actual trendy twist. I’ve seen him play numerous occasions and I can say that he’s an thrilling and technically sound striker. I actually like him.

He has loads of tempo in behind however can do all of it. He can hyperlink, drop in, play off the final man, and as I mentioned, crucial factor he has is bodily presence and peak, he’s a focus.
He’s additionally an actual fox within the field and has nice power on and off the ball, and an unbelievable work fee. He can rating targets too – getting 8 in 24 apps for Barcelona B and Barcelona final season which isn’t dangerous in any respect simply beginning off and on the age of 18.
However as I mentioned, he’s in all probability too uncooked and younger to return into the primary crew this summer season, however I’d completely not rule that out proper now both.
He’s clearly a growing striker and has many components of his sport to work on, however he’s exhibiting loads of indicators of having the ability to progress right into a high striker sooner or later. I sense this as one other alternative at simply £5m.
