According to a report by Football Insider, Sunderland have not lost their interest in signing Marc Guiu, and they are prepared to make a fresh approach for the Chelsea striker. The young attacker is struggling for regular minutes at Stamford Bridge, and Liam Delap’s impending return could render him unwanted in the next weeks or so.
Sunderland have made a big statement in the Premier League, particularly for newly-promoted sides, following their performances so far. As has been the case over the last two seasons, all of the promoted clubs have immediately gone down to the Championship, but the Black Cats are determined to stay afloat and achieve much more than survival.
As things stand, Sunderland are fourth in the standings after their stellar win at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. Regis Le Bris’s side are primed to make the best out of their form and try to achieve a solid season after a stellar start to life in the top flight.
Having spent a massive £165 million in the summer as per the report, the Black Cats are still prepared to invest in the squad ahead of the winter transfer window. One of those additions could be Marc Guiu, whom they signed back in the summer on loan, but Chelsea recalled him from his spell immediately after the injury to Liam Delap.
In the period since Delap’s injury, Guiu has played a total of three games in the league, with two as a substitute and one start, against Sunderland last weekend. The 19-year-old attacking prospect is eager to play regularly, and if there is an opportunity to move on, especially now that Delap has returned, the Spaniard might leave in January.
Guiu might be open to a return to Sunderland if another deal could be struck between the two clubs. There has been talk of a new loan move for the 19-year-old attacking prospect, but so far, things are not clear as to what Sunderland want to do with their interest.
The Black Cats remain interested in bringing him back, but they might be in a different position from the summer about how they view him in their squad. However, it appears Sunderland are prepared to make a fresh approach in January, and it remains to be seen whether this is another loan move or if they are angling for a permanent deal this time out for the 19-year-old prospect.
