Popular journo gives the ‘Here we go’ for €6m Chelsea signing

Fabrizio Romano says Chelsea are nearing signing of Marc Guiu

Fabrizio Romano has released an update on Chelsea’s new target, Marc Guiu, confirming that the Blues have signed the striker and will soon activate his €6m release clause from Barcelona. It’s just a matter of time before the deal is finalized.

This signing will come as a surprise to many fans, as Guiu only emerged last season for Barcelona’s first team and had limited minutes on the pitch. However, he showed great potential, scoring a goal on his debut.

Romano further adds that Chelsea already have a verbal agreement with Guiu’s agents and will proceed with the formal steps later this week. This means his signing will be announced officially, possibly next week.

There is some debate over whether this signing makes sense. Last season, it was evident that Chelsea needed an experienced striker with an eye for goal to provide competition for Nicolas Jackson, who has struggled with finishing. Now, with the signing of another young striker, fans might wonder what Guiu brings to the table.

Guiu’s background at La Masia, Barcelona’s famed youth academy, prepares him for top-flight football. Players from La Masia often look ready when they join the first team, so don’t be surprised if Guiu doesn’t play like a typical 18-year-old.

Moreover, he can serve as an excellent backup to Nicolas Jackson, allowing him to get minutes on the pitch and aiding in his development. While Guiu will obviously need time to settle in the Premier League, his potential suggests he could make a significant impact in the future.

We will get to see how good Guiu is next season, but as an 18-year-old, he will require some time to adapt to the new league and environment.
