On Tuesday, Sport stated Chelse are waiting for the final green light from Marc Guiu. It was also said he could leave Barcelona if they don’t make an improved offer to renew his deal.
Wednesday’s edition of Marca claims the La Liga side, aware of Chelsea’s interest, offered a four-year deal worth €2m gross per year.
The Blues are offering three times more, and their sporting project has also convinced the 18-year-old.
Therefore, he has rejected Barca’s renewal offer and they haven’t proposed an improved deal. It’s further claimed Guiu has informed Chelsea that he will accept their offer after discussing things with both his family and representatives.
In short, the striker has ‘total agreement’ with Enzo Maresca’s side, who will have to pay his €6m release clause to secure his services.
Sport say the Catalan club were hoping the teenager would accept their renewal proposal. That didn’t happen and Guiu has decided to accept Chelsea’s offer, which includes better deal both from a sporting and financial point of view.
It’s claimed ‘everything was closed’ yesterday evening for him to join the west London club and Barca ‘knew definitively that they would lose’ Guiu.
