Marc Guiu is considering an urgent change. The young forward from Chelsea is going through a phase of frustration due to his lack of prominence, and is already contemplating a return to Sunderland or even a loan move to Spain, such as to Real Betis.
The challenging return to Chelsea
Guiu returned to Chelsea after a loan spell at Sunderland, hopeful of establishing himself at Stamford Bridge. However, the 19-year-old forward has not been able to secure a spot in the starting eleven. The club invested in attacking signings like João Pedro and Liam Delap, pushing Guiu into a secondary role.
During his brief stint at Sunderland, he had limited playing time: appearing in three matches and scoring a goal in the League Cup before Chelsea terminated the loan prematurely.
This decision came as a response to Chelsea's need to cover forward absences, especially with Delap's injury and Nicolás Jackson's temporary departure.
Return to Sunderland or move to LaLiga?
Guiu seems unwilling to settle for a place on Chelsea's bench. According to Give Me Sport, he is ready to pack his bags again for Sunderland, where he was expecting more playing time. The Wearside club had already agreed to his season-long loan.
However, this option was cut short by the premature cancellation of the loan. Sunderland could only count on him for a few weeks before he returned to Chelsea.
Considering this situation, another possibility arises: a loan move to Spain. Real Betis, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, has emerged as a potential destination for Guiu if he opts to seek minutes in a less demanding league than the Premier League, yet with chances of making an impact.

Obstacles and conditions in his departure
Several factors complicate this operation. Firstly, Chelsea sees Guiu as a future prospect: his contract ensures there is no rush to part ways with him. Secondly, the early termination of his loan at Sunderland reveals that Chelsea prioritizes immediate needs over player development.
Moreover, the London club could impose restrictions, such as a loan without a buy option or other limiting clauses, to maintain control over his progress.
Another consideration is the internal competition: if Delap recovers, Guiu would have even fewer chances to play.
Next steps and immediate future
Marc Guiu must make a quick decision. If his situation at Chelsea does not change soon, he will have no choice but to pursue a move —be it a loan or permanent— that restores the prominence he currently lacks. Sunderland may welcome his return, but the English club has already shown caution in his premature return.
In the meantime, Real Betis stands out as a viable destination, offering him playing time and a chance to compete in a more controlled league. However, this step requires Chelsea and Betis to agree on mutually beneficial conditions.
In summary, Marc Guiu is at a critical juncture: he needs to play, grow, and demonstrate that he can be more than just a promise. If Chelsea does not provide him with playing time, he will seek a new destination, whether in the Premier League with Sunderland or crossing over to LaLiga with Betis, in search of rediscovering his best form.
