Robert Sánchez is going through one of the most critical moments since arriving at Chelsea. Sources indicate that the club is already planning his sale and looking for a new top-level goalkeeper to strengthen the position next season.

Sánchez's performances have raised growing doubts among the fans and the Blues coaching staff. One of the recent errors, particularly in the match against Manchester United, ended up being costly: an early expulsion that left Chelsea with a numerical disadvantage and very exposed.

In other games, he has been criticized for specific mistakes: losing the ball, making hasty decisions outside the area, struggling with simple passes. For instance, in the 3-1 defeat against Manchester City, his performance was particularly scrutinized. 

Chelsea, Premier League, and Enzo Maresca's Urgency

Chelsea needs stability in goal if they want to compete regularly in the Premier League. Enzo Maresca has expressed that although he trusts Sánchez, he expects an immediate reaction from the goalkeeper.

The coach wants a goalkeeper who provides security not only in reflexes but also in ball distribution and reliability under pressure. Sánchez has not consistently met those requirements, leading to the possibility of bringing someone like Mike Maignan.

Could Mike Maignan be the Ideal Candidate?

Maignan's name has emerged strongly as a possible replacement. It is said that Chelsea has been monitoring him, although the financial disparity with AC Milan has hindered concrete progress. 

Maignan's contract is ending soon, making him an interesting option if Chelsea decides to act quickly. However, Milan is not willing to give him away, and the high price could complicate any agreement. 

What Future Awaits Robert Sánchez If Sold?

If his sale materializes, Sánchez will seek a club where he can regain stability and confidence. His talent is recognized: good performances at Brighton & Hove Albion before joining Chelsea, especially in terms of reflexes and presence in goal. 

Several clubs could be interested, including those in need of an immediate starting goalkeeper. Additionally, his price could drop given his current level of performance, making him attractive to clubs valuing opportunities. 

Robert Sánchez is under significant pressure at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea is seriously considering his departure, while Enzo Maresca is already exploring alternatives like Maignan for the summer. If his performance does not improve, the Spanish goalkeeper could end up being sold and start a new chapter away from West London.
