Gabriel Slonina’s Move to Strasbourg

Slonina Joins Strasbourg Training

Twenty‑two‑year‑old Gabriel Slonina is practicing with Ligue 1 side Strasbourg. The United States international earned only one senior cap and was Chelsea’s third‑choice keeper last season. Strasbourg, owned by BlueCo, sees him as a potential addition under new manager Hugo Oliveira.

Deal Prospects for Slonina

The French club has yet to approve a transfer, and no final decision has been made. Slonina is willing to consider both a loan and a permanent move, seeking regular first‑team football. He moved to Chelsea for £10 million from Chicago Fire in 2022.

Strasbourg’s Other Goalkeeper Option

Denmark international Filip Jorgensen is also on Chelsea’s outgoing list and is being considered by Strasbourg. Early reports suggest Jorgensen is less enthusiastic about the move than Slonina. Both players are looking for more playing time elsewhere.

Chelsea’s Goalkeeper Search

Should Slonina depart, Chelsea will look for a new third‑choice keeper, either from within the academy or the transfer market. The search could involve experienced shots‑coupers or promising academy prospects. The club’s goalkeeper depth will be a key area to monitor as the window progresses.
