It seems that Marc Guiu’s loan spell at Sunderland could be cut short by Chelsea, with the London club considering recalling the 19-year-old striker due to Liam Delap’s injury. Guiu, who joined Sunderland on loan from Chelsea earlier this summer, has already made a positive impression at the Stadium of Light, scoring his first goal in the Carabao Cup.
Chelsea’s potential recall of Guiu comes as they face a shortage of options up front following Delap’s injury. The decision to bring Guiu back to Stamford Bridge would require an agreement between the two clubs, as there is no formal recall clause in his loan deal.
This development could be a setback for Sunderland, who had hoped that Guiu would provide valuable depth in attack during their Premier League campaign. With talks between Chelsea and Sunderland expected to take place, Guiu’s immediate future will likely be decided in the final hours of the transfer window.
In other news, Sunderland head coach Régis Le Bris has provided an update on the contract situation of midfielder Dan Neil, who has entered the final 12 months of his current deal. Le Bris remains optimistic that a solution can be found, emphasizing the shared decision-making process between the player and the club.
Neil, who reportedly turned down interest from other top clubs to stay at Sunderland, is focused on representing his hometown club in the Premier League. However, a new deal between Neil and Sunderland has yet to be finalized, and negotiations are ongoing.
