Transfer: Deco confirms Chelsea star rejected Barcelona’s offer, Man Utd announce deal for winger

Barcelona sporting director, Deco, has confirmed that Marc Guiu rejected the Blaugrana’s contract offer before he joined Chelsea this summer transfer window.

According to the Portuguese, Guiu was offered an important contract to stay at Barcelona but he opted to join the Premier League west London club.

“Chelsea paid the release clause and he left. He had an old contract, with a €6m release clause. He was offered an important contract and an important project, but he made the decision to go another way”, Deco said as per quotes from Diario Sport.

“He took an offer from Chelsea. We offered him a project to be a forward for Barca, but he did not want it.”

Meanwhile, Manchester United on Friday confirmed that winger Alyssa Aherne will spend the 2024/25 campaign on loan at Barclays Women’s Championship side Sheffield United.

The Red Devils disclosed this in a statement on their website.

“Everyone at the club wishes Alyssa a very successful loan spell in Yorkshire.,” Man United’s statement read.

Alyssa signed her first professional contract with United in May 2023, after making her first-team debut.
