Chelsea could look to sell their goalkeeper Robert Sanchez at the end of the season.
That is according to journalist Dean Jones.
Robert Sanchez only joined the Blues last summer in a £25 million deal (Sky Sports) from Premier League rivals Brighton.
However, the 26-year-old gloveman may be on the move after only one season at Stamford Bridge.
Dean Jones has reported via Sports Lens that Chelsea are expected to sell Sanchez in the summer transfer window.
It is claimed that they could get rid of the Spanish shot-stopper despite the fact he’s still under contract until 2030.
In addition, Blues goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is very highly thought of around Stamford Bridge. But the club are open minded about signing a new keeper for next season.
Chelsea expected to sell Robert Sanchez
It certainly would come as a surprise to us if Sanchez does move on after just a year in west London.

Sanchez, 26, spent the first half of the season as Chelsea’s number one goalkeeper before an injury setback.
Without setting the world alight, the former Brighton star settled well to life at Stamford Bridge and was solid in-between the sticks for the Blues.
He’s now back in contention ahead of this Sunday’s League Cup final versus Liverpool. Has he lost his number one status in the last couple of months to Petrovic, though?
Speaking via Chelsea’s YouTube channel today, Pochettino confirmed that he’s already decided which goalkeeper will start the cup final but refused to name Sanchez or Petrovic. It should become clear in the next couple of days who’s the first-choice pick in-between the sticks moving forward.
Our preference would be Petrovic over Sanchez right now, but there should be a route back to compete for the starting position.
