Chelsea have contacted Barca as a courtesy to inform them that the €6m clause will be paid - possibly this week.
Guiu will then sign a long-term contract with the Blues and immediately be added to manager Enzo Maresca's senior squad.
The transfer is a blow for Barca, which had been in talks with Guiu about a new, senior contract.
