Como have reached a verbal agreement with Chelsea for the loan signing of Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, in a move that will see the 28-year-old begin a new chapter in his career in Serie A.
The agreement between the two clubs covers the key terms of the loan, with Sánchez now expected to make the switch to Como as the Italian side strengthens its goalkeeping department ahead of the new campaign.
Sánchez is set to replace goalkeeper Emil Audero Törnqvist, who is closing in on a move to fellow Serie A club Monza. His arrival will provide Como with additional experience and competition between the posts.
The move also represents another significant change in Sánchez’s career following the arrival of Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez at Chelsea.
With Chelsea’s goalkeeping options reshaped, Sánchez is now poised to seek regular first-team football elsewhere.
The Spanish international joined Chelsea from Brighton and Hove Albion in 2023 and has since experienced periods as both a starter and a squad goalkeeper at Stamford Bridge.
A loan move to Como could give him the opportunity to regain consistent playing time and rebuild his momentum.
For Como, the signing is another indication of their ambition to strengthen their squad with established players capable of competing at the highest level in Italy.
With the two clubs having reached a verbal agreement, Sánchez is expected to complete the necessary formalities before the transfer can be officially confirmed.
The move could prove beneficial for both parties, giving Como an experienced goalkeeper while allowing Sánchez to play regularly and continue his development away from Chelsea.
