Chelsea have Spanish loan destination in mind for Barcelona signing | OneFootball

Barcelona striker Marc Guiu is on his way to Chelsea after passing his medical with the Blues, who have activated his €6m release clause. However he might be hitching a flight back to Spain fairly swiftly.

According to Sport, Sevilla stand a good chance of getting him on loan next season, as Guiu seeks minutes next season, and plenty of competition for places at Chelsea. Recently appointed Sevilla manager Garcia Pimienta knows Guiu from his time at the academy there, and Los Nervionenses were credited with interest in the 18-year-old even before Chelsea appeared on the scene.

Unless Barcelona had convinced Guiu to remain at Barca Atletic or on the fringes of the first team as a third number nine behind Robert Lewandowski and Vitor Roque, he likely would have been headed out on loan this season at any rate. On the face of it, Sevilla is not the easiest place to go, but the presence of Garcia Pimienta does change the outlook of a potential loan.
