Confirmed: Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea player is now set to leave Pochettino’s side
Gabriel Slonina is set to leave Mauricio Pochettino’s side on loan to join Belgian side KAS Eupen in search of regular playing time.
Romano disclosed this in a tweet via his Twitter handle on Friday.
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that negotiations between the Blues and KAS Eupen are nearing completion. The Belgian Pro League season is set to kick off, and it seems likely that Slonina could feature for Eupen in their upcoming matches.
”EXCL: Belgian side KAS Eupen closing in on deal to sign Gabriel Slonina on loan from Chelsea, here we go soon.
“Understand agreement on the verge of being reached on one-year loan valid until June 2024. Slonina will play regularly and he’s key part of CFC future plans.”
Slonina arrived at Chelsea from Chicago Fire in the summer of 2022 for a transfer fee of £7.7 million.
The 19-year-old, however, remained with the MLS side until January 1 this year before officially linking up with the Blues.
Despite signing a six-year deal with Chelsea last year, Slonina faces strong competition from goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and others.
