With its new coach Hansi Flick, FC Barcelona intends to offer a quality summer transfer window. Despite its ongoing financial problems and a financial fair play in La Liga that forces it to make crucial choices, the Blaugrana club intends to attract new talents to incorporate them into a squad of young players from the Catalan team, as desired by president Joan Laporta. Xavi Hernández had worked hard for the youngsters of La Masia and Barça intends to continue on this basis.
Except that other clubs that are better equipped financially do not see it that way and intend to draw on the Barça training center to strengthen their squad. This is particularly the case for Chelsea, who had set their sights on Marc Guiu, a striker who has just celebrated his 18th birthday, with 7 matches played and 2 goals scored in all competitions, under the orders of Xavi Hernandez. The striker is currently playing in the play-offs for promotion to D2 with the Barcelona reserve team, but everything is moving very quickly.
A transfer already mentioned in the coming hours

Under contract until 2025, the player was in negotiations to extend his contract with his training club, but they did not come to fruition and the parties did not find an agreement, particularly due to the Catalan financial proposals, while Chelsea has already proposed a contract “unbeatable” to the player’s entourage.
And on the sporting level, because the new manager Enzo Maresca wants to integrate him into the first team and would have convinced the young 18-year-old striker after several discussions, he who was very attracted to the idea of evolving in the Premier League. The transfer would also be in progress and the Spanish daily assures that his farewell to FC Barcelona could be officially announced in the next few hours.
