Rumors suggest that Brighton is open to letting goalkeeper Robert Sanchez leave the club on loan, and it appears that Chelsea is showing interest in acquiring the player. Sanchez, who was initially Brighton’s first-choice goalkeeper at the start of the 2022-23 season, saw his position change with the appointment of Roberto de Zerbi as Chelsea’s manager. Under de Zerbi, Sanchez was dropped in favor of Jason Steele, leading to Brighton’s decision to allow him to leave on loan. Chelsea is reportedly interested in taking advantage of this opportunity, according to talkSPORT.
If Sanchez makes the move to Chelsea, he will likely compete with Kepa Arrizabalaga for the starting goalkeeper position. Chelsea may be in need of a new goalkeeper following Edouard Mendy’s departure for Al-Ahli, and there are also speculations about Gabriel Slonina leaving this summer.
Brighton is already actively looking for a loan deal for Sanchez, so finalizing an agreement with Chelsea should be relatively straightforward, assuming there are no issues with personal terms.
