Chelsea‘s new summer signing Mark Guew has denied reports he is leaving Barcelona over money. The Blues have paid the €5m release clause to sign the forward from Barcelona. After the 18-year-old reportedly rejected a new deal with the Catalan giants.
Speaking to BBC Sport about his decision to leave Barca. The forward said: “It’s not a problem with my contract. I’ve always dreamed of playing in the Premier League and Chelsea is a great club with a lot of history.”UFABET
“It was a difficult decision, but it was a great opportunity, so I had to seize it.”
The Spanish forward scored once in four appearances on Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the United States.
Asked if he would be keen to move elsewhere on loan next season. Giu said: “(Enzo) Maresca told me he has an amazing plan full of young talent. He wants me to be part of it and he has faith in me, my skills and my ability.”
“I think I’m ready. We work very hard every day, on and off the pitch, physically and in practice. So I think I’m ready to come on and help the team when I have to.”
Those reports didn’t leave Barça fans too happy, but Guiu insists that. His decision to join Chelsea was not related to money but to simply realize a childhood dream of playing in England.
