Chelsea are about to let 'extremely talented' player leave on loan after developments today - Romano
Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina is now set to leave the club on loan.
He took to Twitter to state that the Blues agreeing a deal to sign Robert Sanchez will now allow the USA international to make his next temporary move to gain regular first team minutes.
The tour of his home country will have been good experience for Slonina, who was training alongside the first team under Mauricio Pochettino.
He even made his first appearance for the side in the final Premier League Summer Series fixture against West London rivals Fulham. He kept a clean sheet in his 45 minute spell as they went on to win the competition.
He has gained the praise of his peers, with Matt Turner describing him as ‘extremely talented’.
However, the Blues have been active in the transfer market in the quest to sign a goalkeeper this summer, and have ended up agreeing a deal to sign Sanchez.
Slonina to go on loan
The Spaniard had fallen out of favour at Brighton, and a move away looked best for everyone this summer.
Romnao has now claimed that this will see the young American move on loan for the upcoming season.
He said: “Chelsea have agreed fee around £20m fixed for Robert Sánchez — it includes add ons up to £25m package. Long term deal verbally agreed with Sánchez who always wanted to join.
“Caicedo talks continue in separate deal. Slonina will now leave on loan. Here we go.”
The addition of Sanchez will bring competition to Kepa Arrizabalaga, who emerged as the number one option between the sticks last season.
However, some supporters are still not convinced that the Spain international has the quality required to be the goalkeeper for a team with the ambitions of Chelsea going forwards.
