Chelsea goalkeeper Sanchez joins Como on loan

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez has transferred to Como on a season-long loan following his relegation from the starting lineup. After a 3-2 Premier League victory against Fulham, Sanchez conceded a goal to Josh King during a performance marred by errors. This prompted the signing of Argentine keeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa for £7.5 million.

Martinez made his debut in a subsequent 4-3 win over Brighton, while Sanchez was left out of the matchday squad. Sanchez, who had been Chelsea's primary goalkeeper since joining from Brighton in 2023, played 112 matches and secured two major titles with the club. According to BBC Sport, Como, under the management of former Chelsea and Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas, holds an option to purchase Sanchez for £47.1 million at the end of the loan term.
