19-year-old Spanish striker Marc Guiu is set to leave Chelsea temporarily, as Sunderland have agreed a deal to sign the promising forward on a season-long loan. The agreement does not include a buy option, as Guiu remains part of Chelsea’s long-term plans.
Guiu, a left-footed attacker, has made a solid impression at Stamford Bridge since his arrival, scoring 6 goals in 16 appearances for the Blues. His next challenge will be under the guidance of Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris, who views Guiu as a key part of his offensive strategy for the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed the move on X (formerly Twitter), stating:
“Sunderland agree deal to sign Marc Guiu on loan from Chelsea, here we go! Deal in place for straight loan, no buy option clause as Guiu remains part of Chelsea long-term plans. Salary covered by #SAFC as he’ll be an important striker for Le Bris’ plans.”
Before joining Chelsea, Guiu began his career in the prestigious Barcelona youth academy and was promoted to the senior side in 2023. During his brief stint with FC Barcelona, he showcased his goal-scoring ability with 8 goals in 24 appearances.
Guiu is determined to make a significant impact at Sunderland and continue developing his potential. The left-footed striker aims to add spark to the Black Cats’ attacking line as they look to climb higher in the Premier League table.
Sunderland Strengthen Attack with Rising Star
With this loan move, Sunderland FC gain a dynamic young talent eager to prove himself at the top level, while Chelsea continue nurturing one of their brightest future stars. Fans will be watching closely to see how Marc Guiu performs in his new Premier League journey.
