Marc Guiu omitted from Chelsea pre‑season squad, future in doubt

Marc Guiu, a 20‑year‑old forward, moved from FC Barcelona to Chelsea in the summer of 2024 after the English club paid €6 million to trigger his release clause. He was part of Chelsea’s Conference League‑winning side in his first season but has seen only limited action in the Premier League and spent the most recent campaign on loan at Sunderland.

Under new manager Xabi Alonso, Guiu was not included in Chelsea’s pre‑season tour roster, indicating he is not in the coach’s plans. Spanish clubs are reported to be monitoring the situation, with Sevilla cited as the leading candidate for a loan or permanent transfer, offering the player a chance to revive his career in La Liga.
