RB Leipzig agree deal to sign 20yo Chelsea striker

German giants RB Leipzig have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign striker Marc Guiu, according to reputed journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Spanish ace has been a fringe player for the Blues over the past two years, and he has now made the switch to the Bundesliga with Leipzig.

Napoli were initially keen on landing Guiu from the Blues, but they have been beaten to his signature by Leipzig, who will pay around £15 million.

Guiu is already on his way to Germany for his medical. The 20-year-old is likely to put pen to paper on a five-year contract at Leipzig soon.

Chelsea don't have a buy-back clause in the deal, but the Blues have secured a sizeable sell-on clause for the former Barcelona graduate.

Guiu becomes the fourth striker to leave the west London giants this week after Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap and David Datro Fofana.

There could be more departures from the Blues before the deadline.
