Reports from 'Fichajes' indicate that Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has been going through a critical period since joining Chelsea, and the club has started planning to sell him while searching for a new goalkeeper to strengthen the position for the upcoming season.

Sources have pointed out that Sanchez's performance has raised concerns among the club's fans and coaching staff, especially after notable mistakes in matches like the defeat against Manchester United, where he was sent off early, leaving the team with ten players, as well as in the 3-1 loss to Manchester City due to losing the ball and making hasty decisions.

Chelsea needs a goalkeeper who provides security in goal, whether in reactions or in ball distribution and reliability under pressure, which Sanchez has not consistently delivered, according to the report. The name Mike Maignan has emerged as a potential replacement, with Chelsea monitoring his performance, despite his high price potentially hindering the deal.

If Sanchez is sold, he is expected to seek a club that offers him the stability and confidence he has lost, capitalizing on his known talent at Brighton before moving to Chelsea. The Spanish goalkeeper is under significant pressure at Stamford Bridge, and his departure seems to be a viable option if his performance does not improve, according to the same source.
