Chelsea’s Marc Guiu Addresses Loan Talk, Pledges to Compete for Place

The 19-year-old publicly rejects exit talk after links to a January return to Sunderland.

Overview

  • Chelsea recalled Guiu from his Sunderland loan in August following Liam Delap’s injury to bolster short-term depth up front.
  • Since returning, he has had limited minutes, with reports via GiveMeSport saying he is frustrated after Enzo Maresca selected Tyrique George centrally for the Benfica match.
  • In an interview with Spain’s RTVE, reported by the Evening Standard, Guiu said he wants to succeed at Chelsea and is embracing the challenge.
  • FIFA’s two-club rule means a January loan back to Sunderland would be permitted because he has only represented Chelsea and Sunderland this season.
  • Multiple reports indicate Chelsea are not looking to sell and still view Guiu as a long-term prospect after signing him from Barcelona for around €6m in July 2024.
