Chelsea's forward line continues to see departures as Marc Guiu nears a move to RB Leipzig. The Spanish striker is close to finalizing a transfer with the Bundesliga side, according to multiple reports. RB Leipzig and Chelsea are said to have reached an agreement on the deal, which is expected to be a permanent one. The fee for Guiu, however, is believed to be less than the £25m originally requested by Chelsea.
The Athletic claims that all parties involved are confident the deal will be completed soon. Marc Guiu, a 20-year-old Spain international, only played 252 minutes in the Premier League last season after returning from a loan spell at Sunderland. He was initially signed by Chelsea from Barcelona for approximately €6m. Guiu joined RB Leipzig in search of more playing time, following his recall from Sunderland due to Liam Delap's injury.
Other recent exits from Chelsea include Nicolas Jackson and Liam Delap, who both moved to Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest respectively in club-record deals. Guiu is the latest forward to be set for a summer departure from Stamford Bridge.
