Now it’s official: Gaga Slonina is going to Chelsea!
Chelsea FC and the Chicago Fire confirmed the long-awaited move this afternoon following a medical in London earlier this week. Slonina signed a six-year contract last night, keeping him with the Blues through 2028. The transfer fee is an estimated $15 million, including add-ons.
“The kid deserves it,” said Ezra Hendrickson when asked about the move after the Fire’s last match. “I’m happy for the kid, and it shows that we have some good young talent here in this organization.”
As expected, Slonina will continue with the Fire for the rest of this season.
