Guiu, a former Barcelona youth standout who joined Chelsea in 2024, could be allowed to leave temporarily to gain valuable first-team experience. The Blues are open to the move but have made it clear that any deal must be a straight loan with full salary coverage and no option to buy.

The young forward impressed in European competition last season, netting six goals before a hamstring injury interrupted his momentum. However, Chelsea’s recent signings in attack have further limited his chances of regular game time.

A final decision on Guiu’s short-term future is expected before the season begins.
