  • Como have agreed with Chelsea on a one-year loan for Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, according to the report.
  • Sánchez is expected to replace Noël Tørnqvist, who is joining Monza, and provide Como with experience ahead of the Champions League league phase.
  • The 28-year-old made 50 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season but fell out of the starting plans after Emiliano Martínez’s arrival.

Como are turning to Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez to strengthen a position the Italian club had been seeking to fill for some time.

The clubs have reached a verbal agreement on a one-year loan, according to the report. Sánchez is expected to replace Noël Tørnqvist, who is joining Monza in Serie A.

The move would give Como a goalkeeper with experience at the highest level as the club prepares for the Champions League league phase, where it will face AEK. Sánchez joined Chelsea in 2023, but the arrival of Emiliano Martínez changed his position at the London club. The 28-year-old was no longer part of coach Xabi Alonso’s main plans and is set to leave temporarily to continue playing at a high level.

Sánchez has won two caps for Spain. He made 50 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions last season. The report says he now appears likely to continue his career in Italy, with the Champions League among the challenges ahead in a Como shirt.
