Marc Guiu leaves Chelsea, he already has a new team
The Spanish forward does not see his future clear at Chelsea and is negotiating to leave, he already has his new destination chosen.
Marc Guiu has chosen Napoli as his priority to leave Chelsea in this transfer market. The Spanish forward, 20 years old, is close to signing a contract until 2031, while both clubs negotiate a transfer fee above 15 million euros.
The main gap is in the price. Chelsea values the attacker at around 25 million, while the Italian club aims to reduce that amount and is considering a deal that includes variables to bridge the gap before the market closes.

Marc Guiu prioritizes Napoli
According to Fabrizio Romano, the player's willingness has clarified part of the deal. Marc Guiu sees Napoli as his top choice despite having alternatives from Spain, and he has already advanced the personal conditions of his potential contract with the Italian club.
Napoli has intensified contacts during this last week of August. Initial figures placed their offer around 15-16 million euros plus variables, an amount still lower than the valuation made from Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea also wants to retain an economic share in the forward's future through a percentage on a future sale. This condition is part of ongoing discussions aimed to reduce the economic difference between both entities.
Napoli offers Guiu an exit from the Premier League after a season where he failed to establish himself consistently. The forward seeks more playing time and has placed the Italian option ahead of other offers received during the summer.
Chelsea aims to make 6 million profit
Guiu arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2024 after the English club paid around 6 million euros to FC Barcelona. Since then, he has played 29 official matches with the London first team and scored eight goals.
His first season mainly featured the Conference League, where he scored six goals. The following season, he was loaned to Sunderland, but that spell ended just a few weeks later when Chelsea decided to recall him.
During his time at Sunderland, he participated in three matches and scored one goal in the League Cup. Back in London, he got more minutes and also scored against Ajax in the Champions League, during Chelsea's 5-1 victory.
The situation for this season again points towards an exit. The surplus of offensive alternatives at Stamford Bridge has limited his opportunities, and several clubs, including Sevilla, Real Sociedad, and Napoli, have emerged in August as potential destinations.
Negotiations range between 15 and 25 million
The economic gap explains why the transfer is not yet finalized. Napoli is trying to structure the deal starting at over 15 million, while Chelsea holds a valuation close to 25 million euros.
Marc Guiu's choice plays in favor of the Italian club, but an agreement between the entities is still pending. Further discussions will determine the fixed price, potential variables, and the percentage that Chelsea aims to retain from a future sale before authorizing his definitive exit from the Premier League.
