Xabi Alonso does not currently count on the 20-year-old, who finds himself behind João Pedro, Danny Welbeck and Emmanuel Emegha in Chelsea's forward pecking order, an unusually crowded department that could yet shrink further with Liam Delap also potentially heading for the exit, alongside Nicolas Jackson. Guiu spent part of last season on loan at Sunderland but was recalled before it ended.
Interest in the Catalan striker spans several countries. In Italy, both Napoli and Bologna are reported to have him on their radar, while in Spain multiple clubs have shown interest, with Real Betis previously linked a few weeks ago. Sevilla, working with sporting director José Ignacio Navarro, are among those tracking the situation closely, with head coach Luis García Plaza said to rate the forward's qualities and potential.
Guiu came through Barcelona's La Masia academy before Chelsea paid his release clause of €6 million in the summer of 2024, but he has been unable to establish himself at Stamford Bridge across two seasons since, scoring eight goals in 29 appearances across all competitions, the majority coming during Chelsea's Conference League-winning campaign in 2025.
Should he move to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, Guiu would face competition from recent signing Robbie Ure, who has made a strong early impression across a game and a half of LaLiga action, and Isaac Romero, revitalised after scoring and assisting in Sevilla's win at Athletic Club.
For Sevilla, Guiu represents a way to add attacking depth without committing the significant salary space that a more established forward would require, freeing up resources elsewhere in the squad before the transfer window closes.
