Sunderland, UK – Sunderland have reportedly agreed a deal to sign promising young striker Marc Guiu from Chelsea on a season-long loan.
The definitive “here we go!” confirms the agreement, with the 19-year-old set to become a key part of Régis Le Bris’s plans for the upcoming season.
The deal is structured as a straight loan with no buy option clause, as Guiu remains a crucial part of Chelsea’s long-term strategy.
Sunderland will cover the striker’s salary during his time at the Stadium of Light.
Guiu joined Chelsea from Barcelona’s academy last summer and spent last season on loan with Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he impressed with his physical presence and goal-scoring instincts.
Despite his young age, he is highly regarded by Chelsea, and the club believes a season of regular football in a competitive environment will be vital for his development.
For Sunderland, the signing of Guiu is a significant boost to their attacking options.
The Black Cats are looking to strengthen their squad after their promotion to the Premier League, and Guiu’s arrival provides a talented, young striker who is ready to make an immediate impact.
He joins a busy summer of transfer activity for Sunderland, which has also seen them sign experienced midfielders like Granit Xhaka.
An official announcement is expected soon as Guiu prepares to embark on his new chapter at the Stadium of Light.
