A few hours before the end of the transfer window, Marc Guiu will leave Sunderland to return to Chelsea. Loaned early August at the promoted club of Championship, the 19 -year -old Spanish striker will be recalled by the Blues, who decided to break the loan due to Liam Delap's injury and Nicolas Jackson's refusal to come back, according to the newspaper AS. Chelsea and Sunderland agreed on financial compensation to end the agreement. The decision was made by Enzo Maresca and the rest of the technical staff, in consultation with the club, who has never planned to sell the player, convinced of his high potential.

Guiu's adventure in the north of England therefore ends prematurely, despite a promising start under the colors of the Black Cats. The former Barça came into play against Burnley and Brentford in the Premier League, and scored a goal in Carabao Cup against Huddersfield. The club will now have to find a replacement in an emergency. On the side of Chelsea, the young Spaniard will have a new chance of winning at Stamford Bridge this season.
