Chelsea to sign £50m goalkeeper to replace Sanchez?

17 May 2026 - 19:42

Chelsea are expected to enter the transfer market for a marquee goalkeeper at the end of the campaign.

  • Chelsea prepare three readymade signings for Xabi Alonso
  • Chelsea confirm Xabi Alonso as new manager


  • Robert Sanchez has been the Blues\' first-choice between the sticks, but he has been error-prone on several occasions.

    The club have not contemplated a change over the past year, but that is expected to happen later this summer.

    It is claimed that Sunderland shot-stopper Robin Roefs is high on the club\'s shortlist to become the number one.

    The Black Cats only signed the Dutchman last summer for £12m, and he has been key to their fantastic league run.

    Roefs had made several vital saves throughout the season, and he could pursue a bigger challenge this summer.

    Sunderland are unlikely to block his departure to an elite club, but they won\'t entertain less than £50 million.

    Hence, Chelsea will have to spend a premium fee to land the highly-rated shot-stopper from the Wearside outfit.

    Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with his services.
