One Chelsea star is wanted by the former Blues manager. The player has already worked with the manager for another Premier League club. The Blues can be open to sell him as they are eyeing other options in that position.
Chelsea are set to make some key changes in their squad. They are set to part ways with under performing players. Enzo Maresca is known for taking bold decisions. He already has plan ready on which positions to improve.
One area where the West London club are showing attention is goalkeeping. The Blues have been very leaky in the 2024/25 season. Robert Sanchez has been unable to impress whereas Filip Jorgensen is too young. Hence, a new keeper looks like top priority.
Chelsea were heavily linked with Mike Maignan. They were keen to sign him before the start of club world cup. But, they have failed to do so and have trusted Sanchez with starting role for now. But, the Spaniard has not been able to impress in CWC too and hence may get sold.
Former Chelsea managers wants reunion with Robert Sanchez
The manager is question here is Graham Potter of West Ham United. According to The Times, Potter is showing interest in Robert Sanchez. The pair worked together at Brighton. Hence, there is good mutual understanding between them.
Sanchez will like to play regularly at top level. He may not be able to fulfill this if Chelsea land new keeper. Hence, he can be open to move away and West Ham looks like a tempting destination. Areola has struggled to impress in last season and hence Hammers may plan to move-on from him this summer.
Chelsea have a good relationship with Graham Potter. This may help Hammers to get the deal for Sanchez over the line. The Blues will take decision on the future of Spaniard after the CWC. As of now, they are focused on qualifying for the next round of the tournament.
