Chelsea set to secure double transfer deal with young talent
Chelsea Football Club is on the brink of finalizing a significant double transfer as they bolster their squad with promising young talent ahead of the new season.
The Blues, under the stewardship of newly appointed head coach Enzo Maresca, are closing in on two exciting prospects to enhance their ranks.
Firstly, negotiations with Barcelona for 18-year-old Marc Guiu have reached an advanced stage. The talented defender, who has a release clause of approximately £5 million, is poised to make the move to Stamford Bridge despite ongoing contract talks with his current club.
Chelsea’s proactive approach in activating Guiu’s release clause underscores their commitment to securing top young talent.
Simultaneously, Chelsea is near completion on a deal worth around £19 million for Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa. The 18-year-old forward is set to sign a long-term contract, reflecting Chelsea’s strategy of integrating youthful vigor into their squad for sustained success.
Since the acquisition of the club by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, Chelsea has significantly invested in youth, signing 34 players, over 60% of whom were aged 21 or under at the time of joining. This strategy aims not only to strengthen the squad but also to build for the future under Boehly’s ambitious ownership.
The imminent signings of Guiu and Kellyman mark a decisive step in Chelsea’s ongoing transformation under Maresca, who is eager to implement his tactical vision and nurture the burgeoning talent at the club.
As Chelsea fans anticipate the unveiling of their new recruits, excitement mounts over the potential they bring to the Blues’ quest for silverware in the seasons ahead.
