Chelsea Sign Barca Forward On A Five-Year Deal
Chelsea has signed 18-year-old forward Marc Guiu from Barcelona on a five-year contract with an additional one-year option, the Premier League club announced on Monday.
Barcelona Academy Product Guiu made his professional debut last October, scoring his first goal after only 33 seconds, a late winner against Athletic Bilbao.
He made seven first-team appearances and scored his first Champions League goal against Royal Antwerp during the group stage.
He was Spain’s joint-top scorer at the European under-17 Championship last summer with four strikes.
“It’s an immense joy to sign for Chelsea and I struggled to sleep ahead of the journey here because I was so excited,” Guiu said.
“Ever since I was small, it was my dream to play in the Premier League.
“Now I have the opportunity to come here to Chelsea and I will work my hardest to be successful for the club.”
