The young striker arrived with big hopes, but things have not gone as planned at Stamford Bridge. Now, Chelsea may be ready to make a major decision that could change the player\u2019s career this summer.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-marc-guiu-struggling-for-regular-minutes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marc Guiu struggling for regular minutes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Chelsea signed <strong>Marc Guiu from Barcelona<\/strong> in 2024, many fans were excited. The Spanish striker was seen as one of the brightest young forwards in Europe. Chelsea activated his low release clause. They firmly believed that they had signed a future star.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But life in England has been difficult for the young striker. Guiu has struggled for regular playing time since arriving at Stamford Bridge. <strong>Chelsea&#8217;s<\/strong> attack has remained crowded, and that has made it hard for him to develop properly. He never got proper playing time, even in the <strong>Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>As per BBC,<\/strong> this season, Guiu spent time away from the club on loan to Sunderland before returning because of injuries inside the squad. Even after coming back, he found it difficult to become an important player. He has only played a small role during the second half of the season. The other attackers are ahead of him in the squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc Guiu&#8217;s stats, <strong>as per FotMob<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Competitions<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Matches<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Assists<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Premier League<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>EFL Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>FA Cup<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Champions League<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE: Xabi Alonso Says Yes to Chelsea in Huge Manager Twist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-chelsea-now-open-to-selling-marc-guiu\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chelsea now open to selling Marc Guiu<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>According to CaughtOffside,<\/strong> Chelsea are now ready to listen to offers for Marc Guiu this summer. The club may accept bids between 20 million pounds and 25 million pounds if the right offer arrives. Chelsea continue to rebuild the squad under their current ownership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The club have signed many young players over the last few years, but not all of them can stay long term. Because of this, some difficult decisions are expected during the summer transfer window. Guiu\u2019s situation has also attracted attention from several clubs. <strong>According to Chelsea News,<\/strong> Coventry City interested after earning promotion, while teams from La Liga are also following him closely.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A move back to Spain could make sense for the striker. Many young players develop better with regular <strong>football<\/strong>and Guiu may feel that returning home could help him rebuild confidence and improve faster. The Blues do understand that game time is very important at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <strong>Mike Maignan back in Chelsea transfer talks again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Chelsea\" class=\"wp-image-197279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14-768x432.webp 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14.webp\" alt=\"Chelsea\" class=\"wp-image-197279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-14-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-chelsea-still-planning-major-attacking-changes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chelsea still planning major attacking changes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chelsea are expected to make many attacking changes this summer. The club already have several forwards fighting for places, and more new arrivals could still come before next season starts. <strong>According to 3 Added Minutes,<\/strong> multiple strikers could leave Stamford Bridge during the window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc Guiu is one of several names linked with possible exits as Chelsea try to reduce the size of the squad. At the same time, there is still belief inside the club that Guiu has talent. <strong>According to New York Times,<\/strong> earlier this year they reported the striker wants to stay at Chelsea and wants to succeed there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes the situation more complicated. Chelsea must now decide whether to keep developing the player or sell him while his value remains strong. For Guiu, the next few months could become the biggest moment of his young career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> <strong>Romeo Lavia at risk as Chelsea explore new midfielder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-author-s-opinion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Author\u2019s Opinion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marc Guiu still feels like a player with huge potential.
