Chelsea Lose Marc Guiu as Leipzig Complete Surprise Transfer

  • On Tuesday, Spanish striker Marc Guiu completed a permanent transfer to RB Leipzig, signing a five-year contract through 2031 and ending his two-year spell at Chelsea.
  • Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso excluded Guiu from the 2026 pre-season tour and withheld a squad number, following a brief loan spell at Sunderland that ended after one month.
  • The Blues will receive about 15 million including a 20 percent sell-on clause, having initially acquired Guiu from Barcelona in 2024 for around 6 million.
  • Sporting director Marcel Schäfer praised Guiu's "intensity, high tempo and incredible work-rate," while Guiu stated the move is "exactly the right step" for his development.
  • Leipzig had tracked Guiu since 2024, and the striker, who won the 2025 UEFA Conference League and FIFA Club World Cup with Chelsea, now aims to achieve ambitious goals in Germany.
