The arrival of Vitor Roque is bound to revive the competition for the centre-forward spot in Barcelona, as the Brazilian is expected to give Robert Lewandowski a run for his money.
While Roque’s introduction has also created the impression that opportunities for La Masia sensation Marc Guiu will now be increasingly scarce, SPORT has come out to dispel these doubts.
Full faith in Guiu
Indeed, as per the information, Roque’s arrival will not affect Marc Guiu in any way because the team believes in him and intends to extend his contract, which currently runs until 2025.
Guiu is one of the few distinct profiles from the academy who possesses all the makings of a classic No. 9.
And the Spaniard will not be sidelined unjustly, considering his promising exhibitions in the first half of the season.
Against Athletic Club, he scored the winner merely one minute after coming off the bench, as he made a darting run to attack the space behind the Basque defenders.
Moreover, a potential match-winning goal against Royal Antwerp also went in vain after Barcelona clumsily conceded right after that.

And in the friendly against Club America, the 17-year-old once again exhibited his fantastic fundamentals inside the opposition box, scoring the Catalan giants’ second goal of the game.
It is no accident that Marc Guiu gets goals whenever he plays, be it for the Spanish under-17 squad, Barça’s first team, the reserve team, or the junior squad. His talent speaks for itself.
A new contract on the cards
In fact, Barcelona are already working towards handing a new contract to Marc Guiu, having been impressed with his exploits with youth and senior teams.
Given that Guiu has been with the Blaugranes since he was seven years old, reaching an agreement for a contract renewal should not be difficult.
