Marc Guiu set to join RB Leipzig from Chelsea in €16-17m transfer

Chelsea striker Marc Guiu is set to join RB Leipzig in a deal worth approximately €16-17m, according to Sky Germany reporter Philipp Hinze.

The reported fee includes bonus clauses considered easily achievable, with the total value of the transfer expected to fall within that range. Guiu and RB Leipzig are also expected to agree a contract running until 2031.

Sources in England say the player is expected to arrive on Sunday or Monday to complete the formalities required for the move. No further details about the timing of the transfer process have been provided.

The report from Hinze, who covers RB Leipzig for Sky Germany, identifies the German club as Guiu’s next destination after his spell with Chelsea. It also indicates that the transfer is close to completion, with the remaining steps centred on finalising the paperwork and other formal requirements.

The financial structure of the proposed agreement means the headline figure could reach between €16m and €17m once the bonus clauses are taken into account. Those clauses are described as easily achievable, rather than being dependent on particularly difficult conditions.

Guiu is expected to sign an agreement that would keep him contracted to RB Leipzig until 2031. The length of that deal would represent a long-term commitment between the striker and the club, although the report does not provide further details about the terms.

The anticipated arrival on Sunday or Monday would allow the transfer formalities to be completed in Germany. The report does not state whether the move will be formally announced on the day of his arrival, nor does it give any additional information about the schedule beyond the two-day window.

The information was reported by Philipp Hinze, whose coverage focuses on RB Leipzig. It follows earlier reporting about the proposed transfer fee and the expected duration of Guiu’s contract.
