Overview
- Sunderland have finalized a one-year loan deal for the 19-year-old Spaniard without any purchase option, as Fabrizio Romano confirmed this week.
- Chelsea insisted on a straight loan to ensure Guiu’s wages are fully covered by Sunderland.
- Guiu’s pathway at Stamford Bridge was blocked by the summer arrivals of Liam Delap and João Pedro, which limited his first-team opportunities.
- At Sunderland, he is set to be a first-choice striker for Regis Le Bris given the lack of proven Premier League forwards.
- A La Masia graduate who scored within seconds of his Barcelona debut, Guiu joined Chelsea in 2024 and made seven senior cup starts last season.
