Chelsea Signs Barca Star Marc Guiu, 18, for £5m Despite Contract Rejection

Breaking News: New Chelsea Striker Marc Guiu Reveals True Motives Behind Barcelona Exit

In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea’s newest signing, 18-year-old Marc Guiu, has come forward to dispel rumors that he left Barcelona for financial reasons. The young striker, who recently joined the Blues for a reported £5 million, has spoken out to clear the air on his decision to depart the LaLiga giants.

Guiu had been the subject of intense speculation after reportedly rejecting a new contract offer from Barcelona. However, the teenager has now revealed that it was never about the money. In an exclusive interview with BBC Sport, Guiu explained his motivations for making the switch to Stamford Bridge.

"It was not an issue with my contract," Guiu said. "I’ve always dreamt of playing in the Premier League and Chelsea is a great club with a lot of history. It was a tough decision, but it was an amazing opportunity, so I had to go for it."

Guiu’s decision to leave Barcelona, where he had spent his entire youth career, marks a significant coup for Chelsea, who have clearly identified the teenager as a key part of their future plans. The English club’s willingness to activate the 18-year-old’s £5 million release clause is a testament to their commitment to investing in young talent.

As Guiu looks to make a name for himself in the Premier League, he will be hoping to draw inspiration from his new teammates, who have a rich history of developing young players into stars. With his enthusiasm and dedication, the young striker has the potential to become a fan favorite at Chelsea.
