Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has revealed the club plan for Marc Guiu who joined the club this summer from Barcelona.
The Premier League side signed Guiu for £5m from Barcelona and he has since impressed in the Blues pre-season tour of US. Guiu made his first-team breakthrough at Barcelona last season, scoring two goals in seven games.
However, the competition in the first team saw him forced back to Barcelona B where he scored six goals in 17 appearances.
Enzo Maresca has however revealed that Chelsea are planning to keep Guiu in the first-team squad this season.
Many had anticipated Chelsea to send Guiu out on loan but Maresca insists a decision over the Spaniard is yet to be made.
‘The idea with Marc, with all the young players, is to have a look now during the pre-season and then to make a decision altogether,’ Maresca said.
‘I think Marc is doing well and he’s one of the guys in this moment is going to stay with us and not going to go somewhere.’
Maresca also refused to confirm that Chelsea are on the brink of signing Boca Juniors centre-back Aaron Anselmino and Villarreal goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen but said both players are ‘very good’.
‘No, the only thing I can say is they are still Boca Juniors player and Villarreal players,’ Maresca said.
‘The moment they arrive, we will make some comment but at this moment, they are still not our player, so we will see.
‘I know both of them. And both of them are very good.’
Chelsea have played two pre-season game so far. The Blues played a 2-2 draw with Wrexham before losing 4-1 to Celtic on Saturday.
