Villarreal has shown interest in acquiring Robert Sánchez, a Spanish goalkeeper currently playing for Chelsea. Since Enzo Maresca took over as coach at Chelsea, Sánchez has lost his position as the starting goalkeeper. Villarreal is contemplating a loan deal with an option to buy, as Chelsea seeks to recoup part of their investment. Chelsea has set a minimum asking price of 20 million euros for his transfer. Robert Sánchez joined Chelsea in 2023 from Brighton for around 25 million euros. Due to his limited playing time, Villarreal is closely monitoring his situation, hoping that his reduced role might lead to a favorable deal. Despite anticipating challenges in the negotiations, Villarreal remains hopeful about reaching a beneficial agreement, particularly with several months remaining before the transfer window opens.
