Como are among the clubs assessing Robert Sánchez as a potential goalkeeper option, with the Chelsea goalkeeper’s future increasingly uncertain.
Softfootball understands that Sánchez can leave Chelsea this summer, with several clubs currently exploring the conditions of a potential move.
Como’s interest comes as goalkeeper Tornqvist prepares to join Monza, creating a potential need for another option between the posts.
However, the Italian club’s immediate priority remains signing a striker, with their goalkeeper situation expected to be assessed once their attacking plans are resolved.
Chelsea have already moved to strengthen the position with the imminent arrival of Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa.
Softfootball reported three days ago that Chelsea had reached a verbal agreement with Villa for Martínez in a deal worth £7.5 million, with the Argentine goalkeeper approving the move after Aston Villa signed Zion Suzuki from Parma.
The decision to bring in Martínez follows a difficult start to the season for Sánchez, whose early errors have increased pressure on Chelsea to improve their goalkeeping options.
Yesterday, Chelsea maintained their perfect start under Xabi Alonso with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Brighton at Stamford Bridge, although the Blues were made to work considerably harder than the scoreline initially suggested, With Brighton piling on the pressure, Emiliano Martinez became increasingly important for Chelsea. The goalkeeper produced several crucial saves to prevent Fabian Hurzeler’s side from completing the comeback.
Martínez’s arrival could therefore accelerate Sánchez’s departure, with Como now one of the clubs monitoring his availability.
Chelsea’s decision to add the experienced Argentina international also suggests that Sánchez may no longer be part of Xabi Alonso’s preferred plans.
For now, Como are keeping the goalkeeper under consideration while prioritising their striker search. Several clubs remain interested, meaning Sánchez’s situation could develop quickly before the transfer window closes.
