Overview
- Chelsea have made 22‑year‑old goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina available for departure after four years at the club without a senior appearance.
- Multiple reports say Slonina is training on trial with RC Strasbourg as the French club assesses him for their goalkeeping vacancy.
- Strasbourg opened the spot after Mike Penders returned to his parent club following the 2025–26 season, leaving the Ligue 1 side short of keepers.
- Slonina still has around two years remaining on his Chelsea contract, making a temporary loan the most likely outcome to protect Chelsea’s asset value.
- The move fits a wider pattern of Chelsea and BlueCo‑linked clubs moving young goalkeepers for playing time and shows Chelsea’s broader summer squad reshaping.
