Roma seeks Jamie Gittens loan from Chelsea
Roma has requested a loan of Jamie Gittens, 22, from Chelsea. The club bought Gittens for €56 million from Borussia Dortmund last year and has so far rejected the offer.
Napoli targets Marc Guiu
Meanwhile, Napoli has contacted Chelsea for the purchase of Marc Guiu, 20, who has yet to receive a squad number for the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Guiu has a €30 million asking price and Napoli is ready to make a long-term investment in the Spain U-21 international.
Possible developments
Chelsea has refused to accept the terms offered by Roma, but the situation could change in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. Xabi Alonso, Chelsea’s manager, may decide to make Gittens available on loan if the club needs solutions for its surplus players.
The summer transfer context
The summer market is in full swing, with many clubs looking for solutions for surplus players. Chelsea, with a group of high-level forwards, has decided to keep Gittens in the squad, while Napoli seeks to strengthen its offensive line with a young Spanish talent.
The roles of Gittens and Guiu
Gittens, a versatile forward, was acquired with the hope of developing into a key figure for Chelsea. Guiu, on the other hand, is still under evaluation and has not been assigned a squad number, suggesting that the English club is still deciding his future.
Final details
Roma’s request for Gittens and Napoli’s interest in Guiu illustrate how European clubs are optimizing their squads before the market closes. Chelsea’s final decision will shape the paths of both Roma and Napoli in the coming weeks.
