According to reports Chelsea have ended their pursuit of Serhou Guirassy and Jhon Duran as they close in on two striker signings.
The Blues’ frontline for next season is beginning to take shape. In recent weeks, it has become increasingly clear that Chelsea are not as desperate to add a proven, big-name number nine as initially thought.
Though a close source told Footyvaild that, Chelsea are partially pursuing Duran but have yet to conclude and will not rush the process despite reports that they were going to commit to a £40million deal.
Selling the Colombian would not be seen as pure profit, as he isn’t homegrown, but could bank a financial gain after signing the attacker for £18millon, last January.
Meanwhile, according to Spanish reporter Gerard Romero, Chelsea are now seriously considering signing Barcelona youngster Marc Guiu after they activated the centre-forward’s €6 million (£5 million) release clause.
Guiu was elevated to the first team last season and appeared in seven matches, scoring two goals across all competitions.
Competition for the No. 9 spot saw the striker return to the Barcelona B team, where he scored six goals in 17 appearances
