Last October 22, FC Barcelona could thank Marc Guiu. After running into the Unai Simon wall for a long time, Barça ended up forcing the lock on Athletic Bilbao thanks to the young 17-year-old player, who scored 23 seconds after coming into play and for his first steps as a professional. Unknown to the general public, the Spaniard went from the shadows to the light by offering a precious success to the Blaugrana to the delight of the public at the Montjuic stadium and his coach, Xavi.

Seduced by his technical and athletic qualities, the former Spanish international intends to integrate him into his plans in the future. In this sense, SPORT informs us this Sunday that the reigning Spanish champion plans to offer a long-term contract to the native of Granollers, who appeared twice in the Champions League this season and who will reach the age of majority at the beginning of January. If for the moment, no date or release clause have been set, Xavi intends to strengthen Marc Guiu, considered a promising number 9 who risks being closely monitored by the European leaders. At the club since the age of 7, the main player has no intention of packing up and intends to establish himself in the long term in Catalonia.
