In a move that could see a familiar face return to Chelsea's orbit, newly promoted Coventry City—under the guidance of former Blues legend Frank Lampard—are reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Marc Guiu. The 20-year-old striker, valued at around €25 million, has struggled to find his footing at Stamford Bridge since arriving from Barcelona in 2024.

Guiu's €6 million release clause made him a bargain signing, but game time has been scarce. Last season, he netted six goals in 16 appearances, all in the Conference League, but this term has been even tougher, with just three goals in 16 outings. A loan spell at Sunderland was cut short after an injury to Liam Delap forced his recall, and he's barely featured since—his last league appearance before a brief cameo against Brighton in March came way back in December.

The young Spaniard hasn't even made the squad for Chelsea's FA Cup semi-final against Leeds, and he's been involved in only two of the club's last 21 matches. Unsurprisingly, Guiu is keen on a loan move back to Spain next season, and La Liga clubs are monitoring the situation closely. However, according to Caught Offside via Sports Boom, Coventry City are also in the mix, with Lampard reportedly plotting a raid on his old club.

Chelsea are said to be open to offers in the €20-€25 million range, making this a potential bargain for a player with clear talent but limited opportunities. For Coventry, landing a striker of Guiu's pedigree could be a game-changer as they prepare for life back in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Chelsea fans will be watching closely to see if Lampard can work his magic and bring the best out of a player who's yet to shine in blue.
