Chelsea's New Striker Marc Guiu: "It Was My Dream to Play in the Premier League"

Marc Guiu, Chelsea’s new 18-year-old striker, has expressed his excitement about joining the Premier League, dismissing claims that financial motivations led to his departure from Barcelona.

Guiu, who has already made an impact on Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the United States by scoring once in four matches, joined the Blues after they triggered a £5m release clause in his Barcelona contract. Despite rejecting a new contract from the Spanish club, Guiu insists his move was driven by ambition rather than money.

“It was not an issue with my contract,” Guiu clarified. “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 transition to Chelsea has been smooth, and he is eager to prove his worth. When asked if he felt ready for the Premier League or preferred a loan spell, Guiu focused on the present.

“I’m just focused on the pre-season tour, doing my best and that’s what I can say," he stated. "But [Chelsea head coach Enzo] Maresca told me there was an amazing sporting project full of young talent, that he wanted me to be a part of it and that he had a lot of faith in me and my skills and capabilities."

Guiu is confident in his readiness to contribute to the team. “I think I’m ready. We work very hard every day both on and off the pitch, on the physical aspect and the practical. So I think I’m ready to be on the pitch and help the team when I’m needed.”

A Promising Future at Chelsea
