Chelsea goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina has joined Barnsley FC on loan for the 2024-25 season.

The League One club will not have a purchase option on the U.S. international.

Slonina, 20, spent last season on loan at KAS Eupen, making 34 appearances as the club was relegated from the Belgian top flight.

The Illinois native signed for Chelsea in 2022 from the Chicago Fire in a reported $10 million deal.

After finishing the 2022 MLS season with the Fire, Slonina spent a half season with Chelsea’s U-21 side before his move to Belgium last season.

Real Madrid looking at signing Josh Acheampong from Chelsea

Interestingly, a new report from The Independent and journalist Miguel Delaney claims that James isn´t the only Chelsea right-back who Real are considering.


Indeed, it is believed Real are now looking at signing highly-rated young Chelsea right-back Josh Acheampong, who Delaney writes is tipped for big things at Stamford Bridge.

The 18-year-old´s sale would count as pure profit in the eyes of PSR, with Chelsea making a habit of selling academy players in recent years through their agreed exit deals for Conor Gallagher, Mason Mount and others.

Acheampong is valued at around £13 million, according to Delaney, and is seen as a youngster with a similar profile to Man United´s Leny Yoro ass he can play as a centre-half in addition to right-back.

Juventus consider Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling as potential signing

Juventus are being linked with a move for Chelsea winger Raheem Sterling as they look to strengthen their wide positions. The Italian club are keen on acquiring two attacking wingers, with Nico Gonzalez from Fiorentina already on their radar. Now, they have also expressed interest in Sterling, the English winger currently playing for Chelsea.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the situation at Chelsea could facilitate Sterling’s move, as the club is reportedly close to signing Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton, who plays in the same position. This development might prompt Sterling to consider leaving Stamford Bridge, opening the door for a possible transfer to Juventus.

Securing Sterling’s signature won’t be straightforward for Juventus, as they will likely face stiff competition from other clubs, both in the Premier League and across Europe. Nevertheless, Juventus is already gathering information to assess the feasibility of such a move.

In the previous season, Sterling made 31 appearances in the Premier League, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists. While Juventus continues to explore other options, including Francisco “Chico” Conceicao and Jadon Sancho, the club is considering a loan deal to bring in a new player.
