Chelsea are reportedly open to loaning out promising young striker Marc Guiu for the upcoming Premier League season. With competition for the club’s No. 9 spot stiffened by players like Liam Delap, Jo\u00e3o Pedro, and Nicolas Jackson (assuming he remains at the club), Chelsea believe Guiu could benefit from regular first-team football elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has highlighted Sunderland’s interest in the Spanish forward, one of three clubs that have made enquiries about a potential loan move. Chelsea are willing to approve a temporary transfer without an option to buy but insist that the receiving club cover Guiu’s full wages during the loan period.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have no intention of severing ties with Guiu and expect the striker to return to the club next summer. Sunderland, preparing for their first Premier League campaign in eight years, have invested heavily with nine new signings. Their outgoing transfers have amounted to more than \u00a3124 million (approximately $164.7 million), partly offset by sales of Tom Watson and Jobe Bellingham to Brighton & Hove Albion and Borussia Dortmund.<\/p>\n
Last season, Sunderland secured promotion through the Championship play-offs without a prolific top scorer. Wilson Isidor led the team with 13 goals across all competitions, while young Spanish forward Eliezer Mayenda contributed nine goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
