Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea team had been closely monitoring Barcelona forward Guiu, with Bayern Munich also vying for his signature. According to Mail Sport, Chelsea reportedly triggered a release clause of just €6 million (£5 million) to initiate discussions with the player.

Negotiations proved successful, as reported by Fabrizio Romano. Guiu passed his medical examination at Stamford Bridge, and his official unveiling is expected soon. He has signed a six-year contract with Chelsea, which will last until June 30, 2030.

Once officially confirmed, the Spaniard will become Chelsea’s second signing of the summer, following the free transfer of Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham. Guiu, a product of Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, had a breakthrough season with the Catalan club last year.

Guiu first made headlines in October when he was named on the bench against Granada. The following week, he made his senior debut, coming off the bench in the closing stages of a match against Athletic Bilbao. With the game level at 0-0, Guiu scored the winner just 33 seconds after being introduced, making him the youngest player to score for Barcelona on his debut in La Liga this century at 17 years and 291 days.

Throughout the last season, Guiu made a total of eight appearances in all competitions for Barcelona’s first team. This included a notable goal in a Champions League group stage match against Royal Antwerp in December. His performances have caught the attention of major European clubs, leading to his move to Chelsea.

Guiu’s signing represents a strategic move for Chelsea as they continue to build a robust and competitive squad. The acquisition of a young, talented forward from Barcelona demonstrates Chelsea’s commitment to investing in promising players who can contribute to the team’s success in the long term.

Chelsea fans are eagerly awaiting the official announcement, which will mark the beginning of Guiu’s journey with the club. His addition is expected to bring new energy and talent to Chelsea’s attacking lineup as they prepare for the upcoming season.
