Chelsea star Gabriel Slonina has been recalled from loan. The decision is confirmed and the player is set to return to West London.
The Blues signed Slonina in 2022 from Chicago Fire FC. He was quickly sent back on loan to compete the 2022 season. The 20 year old was ten sent on loan to Belgian side Eupen last season.
In the 2023/24 season, Slonina played 34 games for Eupen before returning to West London this year. He was then once again sent on loan in summer. He was sent on loan to English club Barnsley who are in League one.
Slonina has been main keeper for Barnsley this season. He has played 14 games across two competitions. He has been able to register 2 clean sheets. Barnsley will miss Slonina highly as the 20 year old is moving back to West London mid-season.
Chelsea recall Gabriel Slonina back from loan
Felix Johnstone has reported that Slonina has been recalled from the loan. It has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano who added that the Blues have sent a formal letter. The Italian also added that Chelsea will help the keeper in recovery from finger injury before deciding about new loan.
Slonina is tied to the Blues with a contract running until 2028. He has a chance to become a regular member of first team as there will be some key changes in the club next season. The Blues are likely to move on from the first choice keeper Robert Sanchez.
The Blues do have a very good squad depth at the moment. Hence, they may also opt to sell Slonina next year. However, it seems that the 20 year old can be considered safe at the moment. Lastly, the American’s age increases the chances of staying at West London for long time.
