Chelsea are preparing a major summer shake-up between the posts. With Robert Sanchez under scrutiny, the Blues are scouting Real Madrid’s 20-year-old talent Fran González.
Chelsea has been facing a season of ups and downs, alternating between strong performances and results and some disappointing ones. This led the club to change the coach and to pass from Maresca to Rosenior.
Currently, Chelsea is outside their bare minimum objective of qualifying for the next UEFA Champions League edition, so Rosenior and the Chelsea players will fight until the end to achieve the objective they have planned.
On the other hand, the club is also working towards the summer transfer market, which is very closed, and the Blues are looking at players in different positions, both inside and outside the Premier League. The Blues' intention is to continue investing heavily in young, talented players. One role that Chelsea is looking to fill is the goalkeeper position.
A major problem for the club this season is the performance of their goalkeeper, Sanchez. The Spanish keeper hasn’t been stable with his performances since he arrived at Stamford Bridge, and he has had periods where his performances have been outstanding and periods where his performances have cost the team a lot of points.
Sanchez arrived at Chelsea in 2023, and his contract with the Blues expires in 2030. Since his arrival, the Spanish keeper has played 97 matches for the Blues across all competitions, conceding 113 goals and recording 32 clean sheets. To date this season, Robert has played a total of 36 matches across all competitions, with 41 goals conceded and 14 clean sheets.
The second-choice keeper of the Blues this season is Filip Jorgensen, and his performances when he has played haven’t been at the level that a club like Chelsea expects. For this reason, during the summer, the Blues will take decisive actions in this important area of the team.
Chelsea is planning to sell 1-2 keepers in the squad and bring in 1, at most 2, new keepers. As a result, Chelsea is looking at Real Madrid in Spain, and the club is scouting the 20-year-old keeper Fran Gonzalez of the Spanish team.
Gonzalez is a highly talented goalkeeper, and Real Madrid places a great deal of faith in his abilities and sees him as the perfect replacement for Courtois. Fran has played more with the second team of Real Madrid and has also made the debut with the first team of Real Madrid.
Chelsea is very interested in the young Spanish keeper and, for this reason, has sent the club's scouts several times in order to watch the player. The Blues are ready to start negotiations with the Spanish team, but it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will accept losing the young keeper or continue to believe in him.
