Como are in pole position to sign Robert Sanchez from Chelsea, with the Serie A club working to complete a deal before the end of the transfer window.
According to Goal, Chelsea are set to finalise the sale of the Spanish goalkeeper to Como as manager Cesc Fabregas looks to strengthen his options between the posts. The move would bring Sanchez’s time at Stamford Bridge to an end, with the Blues reshaping their goalkeeping department late in the window.
The expected arrival of Emi Martinez at Chelsea is understood to have pushed Sanchez closer to the exit door. With Martinez set to join the London club, Sanchez appears likely to fall down the pecking order, and Como have moved into a strong position to take advantage of the situation.
Fabregas is said to be keen on adding a new goalkeeper before the market closes, and Sanchez has emerged as the leading target. The Spaniard would provide Como with an experienced option as the club seek to reinforce a key area of the squad.
No transfer fee or contract terms have been confirmed in the supplied report, but the expectation is that Chelsea and Como will try to get the move completed before the deadline. For Chelsea, the deal would allow them to move on a goalkeeper whose role has become increasingly uncertain following Martinez’s anticipated arrival.
For Sanchez, a switch to Como could offer a fresh start and a clearer route to regular football under Fabregas. With the window nearing its conclusion, the clubs are now expected to push towards an agreement, with Como currently leading the race for the Chelsea goalkeeper.
