Chelsea reach a verbal agreement to loan goalkeeper Robert Sanchez to Italian club Como, according to reports. The move follows Chelsea’s decision to sign Emiliano Martinez, which leaves Sanchez without a starting role.

BBC Sport reports that Sanchez joins Como on a season-long loan, framing it as the next step after losing his place in Chelsea’s lineup to the new arrival. The Athletic also describes Chelsea’s efforts to secure a new club for Sanchez, indicating that the agreement is designed to provide him regular playing time.

Across outlets, the key points align: Sanchez is the player involved, the destination is Como, and the underlying context is Chelsea’s reshaping of the goalkeeper situation after bringing in Emiliano Martinez. The reports differ mainly in emphasis, with one describing a verbal agreement and the other reporting the loan as completed and season-long.
