RB Leipzig are on the verge of completing the signing of Chelsea striker Marc Guiu. Fabrizio Romano<\/strong><\/a> reports that Leipzig have reached a full agreement with Chelsea over a permanent transfer for the 20-year-old Spaniard. Sky Germany<\/strong> reports that the base transfer fee will reportedly come in below \u20ac20m. Chelsea are also expected to secure a sell-on clause as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n Guiu arrives to address an obvious need in Mart\u00edn Demichelis\u2019 attacking corps. R\u00f4mulo is also currently unavailable with tendon irritation in his knee. The 24-year-old missed Leipzig\u2019s DFB-Pokal opener against Eintracht Trier and will also sit out Saturday\u2019s Bundesliga opener against Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach. Twenty-year-old Tidiam Gomis led the line in Leipzig\u2019s cup victory.<\/a><\/p>\n The return of former Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku<\/a> is expected to boost Demichelis\u2019 options immediately. The Frenchman is fit for the Gladbach fixture and can operate as a centre-forward, false nine, No. 10 or on either wing. Guiu nevertheless represents a more natural option at the point of the attack.<\/p>\n The Barcelona academy product joined Chelsea for approximately \u20ac6m in 2024. Guiu briefly spent time on loan at Sunderland last season, but Chelsea recalled him after only three appearances. Across the entirety of the 2025\/26 campaign, the striker registered three goals and two assists in 16 competitive appearances.<\/p>\n The move to Leipzig should provide the Spain youth international with a considerably clearer developmental pathway.<\/p>\n Leipzig are also close to sanctioning the temporary departure of centre-back El Chadaille Bitshiabu. Sky Germany<\/strong> reports that negotiations with RC Lens are at an advanced stage over a season-long loan for the 21-year-old French defender. Crucially, the proposed agreement will contain no purchase option.<\/p>\n Leipzig therefore continue to plan with Bitshiabu beyond the coming campaign and view the move primarily as an opportunity for the left-footed centre-back to obtain regular competitive minutes and continue his development. RB are expected to cover part of Bitshiabu\u2019s salary during the loan.<\/p>\n GGFN<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Peter Weis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 3 RB Leipzig are on the verge of completing the signing of Chelsea striker Marc Guiu.
