Chelsea are said to be eyeing up a move for Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez next summer but face competition from Manchester United.
The Blues head coach Graham Potter had given Sanchez the chance to shine between the goalposts during the former’s days at Brighton and he could be keen to move in for the Spanish shot-stopper.
Sanchez is going to the World Cup with Spain this month and on the back of his impressive run of showings for Brighton, England’s biggest clubs have been alerted to the possibility of moving in for the 24-year-old.
According to a report from The Daily Mirror, it is claimed that Chelsea will have a challenge from local rivals Manchester United on the transfer front with both sides wanting to sign the Brighton man come next summer.
United are in the market for a new goalkeeper with Eric ten Hag’s side on the lookout for a fresh face between the sticks to take over from David de Gea who is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the season.
