Chelsea have launched an offer for highly rated Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina after Real Madrid's proposal was turned down.

Chelsea are hoping to sign the 18-year-old, who turned down a senior call-up from Poland last month in order to profess his allegiance to the United States. As part of the deal, Fire would prefer to keep the 18-year-old on loan for the time being.

He became the youngest goalie in MLS history when he made his debut in a goalless draw against New York City in August 2021.

Brahim Diaz lauded Zlatan Ibrahimovic, emphasizing how important the Swede has been to him.

Presnel Kimpembe, a Chelsea target, wants to chat about his future at Paris Saint-Germain.

Kimpembe has two years remaining on his contract at PSG.

With Antonio Rudiger joining Real Madrid and Andreas Christensen also set to depart, Chelsea could look to bring in a new centre-back.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is determined to add to his squad following Todd Boehly’s takeover of the club.

Ousmane Dembele, who has been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge, is set to leave Barcelona.

The winger is poised to be available on a free transfer from the start of July.
