“Chelsea reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Guiu from Barcelona.
“Chelsea informed Barcelona about decision to trigger the release clause for Guiu this week — worth €6m.
“Barcelona tried to extend his contract and change the clause… but Marc Guiu decided to try a new chapter.
“The deal will be formally completed later this week.
“Guiu will be part of Chelsea first team under Enzo Maresca for pre-season, not planning for Strasbourg.
“Chelsea see Guiu as big talent with huge potential and also big opportunity with that ‘cheap’ release clause.
There are so much expectations for the player who is just 19 and already showing alot since breaking from the youth team.
