Chelsea’s young Spanish striker Marc Guiu is reportedly frustrated with life at Stamford Bridge and wants the chance to return to Sunderland.
The 19-year-old was loaned to Sunderland from Chelsea in the summer, but they recalled him at the end of the window following an injury to Liam Delap.
Guiu had started brightly for the Black Cats, scoring one goal in three appearances there, and it appears he would like to return after a frustrating spell under Enzo Maresca, according to Give Me Sport.
It seems that one particular decision from Maresca has messed Guiu up the wrong way, with the report citing the recent selection of Tyrique George for the Benfica game.
Guiu surely expected to get more minutes after Chelsea canceled his loan move, but Maresca favored George in that game, leading the former Barcelona youngster to look for a way out again.
Will Marc Guiu transfer from Chelsea?
It seems clear that Guiu hasn’t enjoyed a happy spell with CFC since his arrival last summer, and it would probably be for the best for all parties if they let him go.
The Spaniard looks like a decent young player, but perhaps not quite of the level required to start regularly at a big club like Chelsea.
The chance to gain experience at a club like Sunderland might be a better option for him at this stage of his career, but it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will let him leave.
The west London giants won’t want to be too short of options from the start, but perhaps when Delap is fit again they will be happier to sanction another loan move for Guiu in the second half of the season.
It will be interesting to see if Sunderland will also try to revive their deal for Guiu if the opportunity arises.
