Marc Guiu, an 18-year-old forward from Barcelona, has recently made the move to Chelsea in a £5 million deal. Enzo Maresca, a member of Chelsea's team, has revealed that the club plans to keep Guiu in their first-team squad for the upcoming season.
Despite Guiu's young age, he has already showed immense talent, scoring two goals in seven games for Barcelona's first team last season. However, with strong competition for a spot in Barcelona's attack, he spent more time playing for their B team, where he scored six goals in 17 appearances.
Now, Guiu is with Chelsea's squad for their pre-season tour in the United States. He has already played in two games, a 2-2 draw against Wrexham and a 4-1 defeat against Celtic on Saturday. Despite previous speculation, Chelsea has no plans to loan Guiu out, according to Maresca.
Maresca also addressed rumors of Chelsea's potential signings of Aaron Anselmino from Boca Juniors and Filip Jorgensen from Villarreal. While not confirming anything, he did comment that both players are "very good."
When asked about the club's future plans for Guiu, Maresca stated, "The idea with Marc, and all our young players, is to assess their performance during the pre-season and then make a decision together." He also added that Guiu is doing well and is likely to stay with the team for the upcoming season.
As for the potential signings, Maresca remained tight-lipped, citing that they are still part of their respective clubs and any comments will be made upon their arrival. However, he did mention that he knows both players and believes they are "very good."
