Brighton open to letting Robert Sanchez leave on loan amid Chelsea interest
Brighton are prepared to allow Robert Sanchez to leave the club on loan with Chelsea keen on the goalkeeper, talkSPORT understands.
The 25-year-old has been in the shadows of the first team since the arrival of Roberto De Zerbi.
Sanchez found game time limited last season, with the Italian preferring Jason Steele between the sticks.
Chelsea are interested in a move for the Spain international as competition for Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Brighton recently added goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen to their ranks, who completed a £17million deal from Anderlecht.
Verbruggen has inherited the No.1 shirt from Sanchez, suggesting the latter could depart the Amex Stadium this summer.
Sanchez has been capped by Spain, but is part of the Brighton homegrown contingent, having been with the club since he was 15.
A move to Chelsea would see him link up with former Brighton goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts.
Roberts stayed put at Stamford Bridge, despite the departure of Graham Potter last season.
Chelsea are in the market for a goalkeeper following Edouard Mendy's move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli last month.
Gabriel Slonina could also depart, with the highly-rated 19-year-old set to join Belgian side KAS Eupen on a season-long loan.
