Chicago are expecting a second offer for Slonina, who has started all 14 games for the club this season and kept five clean sheets.

Slonina is reportedly regarded as a player for the future and is unlikely to rival Thibaut Courtois for his first-team place right away given the Belgian’s Champions League heroics.

He was called up to Poland’s senior men’s squad in May for their Nations League fixtures this month due to holding dual Polish and American citizenship.

But Slonina rejected the offer and pledged his international future to the USA.
