Report – Barcelona contract offer youngster rejected before leaving club

On Monday, it was officially announced that Marc Guiu had left FC Barcelona to sign for Premier League giants Chelsea.

The 18 year old The Masia Gem had a €6m release clause in his contract which Chelsea activated, with the forward signing a long-term deal with the Londoners.

For their part, Barcelona were keen to keep the young striker and even presented a contract proposal, but failed to convince him to continue.

The Barcelona offer that Guiu rejected

NOW, World of sport presented a report that reveals the contract offer that Barcelona had presented to Marc Guiu and that he ended up rejecting.

As per the update, the Blaugrana presented a contract proposal with a salary of 2 million euros per year, although the duration of the offer was not mentioned.

Although Chelsea are understood to have offered a much bigger salary, another major argument in their favour was that the Blues offered him a guaranteed role in the first-team setup.

In Barcelona, ​​however, the situation was a little different as the club was unable to immediately guarantee him a place in the first team.

However, it was pointed out to him that Robert Lewandowski would soon be 36 years old and that Vitor Roque could leave on loan for fair play reasons.

So, Guiu was told that if he played 50% of Barça Atletic’s matches, he would earn a contract with the first team.

The player’s agents, knowing that there were powerful offers like that of Chelsea, insisted on what they were asking, assuming that at Stamford Bridge they would give him a leading role, something that Barça was not sure of.

In any case, the final decision was Guiu’s and once he agreed terms with Chelsea, they paid his release clause last Friday.
