Chelsea is preparing to make significant changes in the goalkeeper position during the upcoming summer transfer window, as the club is considering selling Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez due to his decline in performance this season, according to "Fichajes".

The management of the London club believes that Sanchez has not delivered the expected performance this season, due to his inconsistent form and the impact of some mistakes on the team's results, prompting the management to look for a new replacement in the goalkeeper position.

On the other hand, Chelsea has set its sights on the young goalkeeper James Trafford, a player from Manchester City, considering him the first choice to replace the Spanish goalkeeper in the upcoming phase.

This move is part of a technical plan led by coach Liam Rosenior, who is seeking to sign a goalkeeper with high capabilities and the ability to lead the team's back line.

James Trafford is facing competition and interest from several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, amidst increasing interest in his services recently.

According to the report, Chelsea is looking to financially benefit from selling Robert Sanchez, whose contract runs until 2030, in order to reinvest the proceeds in acquiring a young goalkeeper who fits the team's future project.

James Trafford's market value is estimated at around 25 million euros, with expectations of increased competition for him due to his technical abilities and the interest of several clubs in signing him.

Chelsea hopes to finalize the deal for the new goalkeeper early in the transfer window to ensure stability in the goalkeeper position before the start of the new season.
