Marc Guiu is likely to leave Chelsea this summer, with a permanent exit not being ruled out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joao Pedro is the Blues\u2019 first-choice striker, while Nicolas Jackson has also returned from his loan at Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

\n

Once you include new signing Emmanuel Emegha and Liam Delap, Chelsea currently have five centre-forwards on their books.<\/p>\n

That is far too many, so there should be a few exits in that department between now and the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n

Who should be Joao Pedro\u2019s deputy next season, Folarin Balogun or someone else?<\/h3>\n

The AS Monaco striker is being linked to Chelsea after impressing at the World Cup \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

According to BBC Sport, one club who are interested in Guiu were quoted a \u00a325m fee when they enquired about him.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard barely played for Chelsea last season, but that is still a reasonable amount of money to ask for.<\/p>\n

There is a lot to like about Guiu. On the pitch, he presses opposition defenders constantly and his finishing is not bad overall, although it can be a bit erratic at times.<\/p>\n

In terms of his profile, Guiu is a young centre-forward with a lot of potential. He is still only 20 so has time to develop into a more mature No.9.<\/p>\n

His record in Europe is also quite impressive for someone his age. In Chelsea\u2019s Conference League winning campaign, the Spain Under-21 international scored six goals in seven appearances in the main phase of the tournament.<\/p>\n

At Chelsea, he has scored one goal in one outing in the Champions League. At former club Barcelona, Guiu netted once in two appearances in Europe\u2019s elite competition.<\/p>\n

Sunderland are interested in signing Guiu again after bringing him in on loan last summer before he was swiftly recalled back to Stamford Bridge after an injury to Delap.<\/p>\n

They are more likely to prefer another loan to a \u00a325m permanent deal, but he could be worth the money if the Black Cats or a different club decide to stump up the cash for him.<\/p>\n
