FC Cincinnati reportedly set to sign Liverpool goalkeeper Fabian Mrozek on loan

The goalkeeper joined Liverpool in the summer of 2020 from Polish club FC Wroclaw in a deal worth £250,000 and has since featured extensively at youth level. He made 17 appearances in Premier League 2 while progressing through the club’s academy system.

At FC Cincinnati, Mrozek is expected to serve as the club’s third goalkeeper, according to The Athletic. American shot-stopper Roman Celentano remains the undisputed starter, while 30-year-old Evan Louro provides veteran depth. Academy product Paul Walters departed earlier this month on a season-long loan to Irish side Bohemians, opening space on the depth chart.

Cincinnati enter the new season with a strong defensive core, led by United States international Miles Robinson and former Chelsea center back Matt Miazga. The club finished second in the Eastern Conference last season before being eliminated in the playoffs by Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

FC Cincinnati return to action on Feb. 18 in the Concacaf Champions Cup, when they face Universidad O&M away in the first leg. The return leg will be played on Feb. 25 at TQL Stadium.
