The 17-year-old goalkeeper unexpectedly found himself in the starting line-up of his club. Last season, he played 11 games in total, and kept a clean sheet in four. As a result of excellent performances in the Major Soccer League, Solonina was called up to the US senior national team. It is quite an honor for the young player. Especially since the Americans are currently occupying FIFA.
Slonina may go to Juventus
Soon Slonina can meet even more honor. Journalists of “Tuttosport” established that he is interested in a goalkeeper with Polish roots. Thus, he could become a rival for a place in the line-up for Wojciech. However, the competition in this position in the team of Massimiliano Allegri is greater. Apart from Szczęsny, the Turinians also have Mattia Perina and Carlo Pinsoglio.
Gabriel Slonina is to be a movement towards the future. Juventus is likely looking to sign a deal with him next June. Earlier it was also said that the Polish Football Association was interested in bringing the player to the country. Such information was confirmed by President Cezary. However, Slonina had previously been called up to the national team. In the last friendly game between the Americans and Bosnia and Herzegovina (1-0), the 17-year-old did not come out on the pitch.
Gabriel Slonina: I want to be the best in the world
In a recent interview with Sport.pl, Slonina said: – I feel both Polish and American. I know many would like me to identify myself, but I am emotionally attached to both nations. My parents come from Poland, we speak Polish at home and we like Polish cuisine, but it must not be forgotten that my older brother and I were born and lived so far in the States. I speak English probably better than Polish.
