Transfer News: Chelsea Makes Formal Bid for Robert Sanchez, Awaiting Brighton’s Reply
Chelsea has made a formal offer to Brighton & Hove Albion for goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but Brighton has yet to respond to the bid, and discussions are ongoing. Sanchez, who lost his starting position to Jason Steele in March, was not part of Brighton’s pre-season tour to the U.S., adding uncertainty to his future with the club.
Chelsea has taken a significant step in their pursuit of the talented goalkeeper Robert Sanchez by making an official bid to Brighton. Talks between the two clubs are still in progress, and there are reports suggesting that Sanchez has expressed a preference for a move to Chelsea. Brighton is also eager to secure the transfer of the player this summer. In addition to their interest in Sanchez, Chelsea is engaged in negotiations with Brighton for midfielder Moisés Caicedo, showing their ambition to bolster their midfield.
Some Chelsea fans are expressing frustration over reports of the club’s potential signing of Robert Sanchez from Brighton. The Spanish goalkeeper was previously Brighton’s first-choice, but he fell down the pecking order after manager Roberto De Zerbi favored Jason Steele for his ability to play from the back.
Chelsea’s commitment to keeping Levi Colwill is evident in their active negotiations for a new contract with the promising talent. The club has improved their proposal and now considers Colwill as ‘untouchable,’ indicating he is not available for sale. With talks still ongoing, Chelsea remains confident in securing Colwill’s future and retaining him at the club.
