Robert Sánchez to Tottenham Hotspur
This move fell through. Last report: Graeme Bailey, 31 August 2026.
Earlier read, written at an earlier stage of this story: Tottenham are weighing up another goalkeeper before the transfer window shuts, and Robert Sánchez is one name on their list. The Spain international sits under contract at Chelsea until June 2030, but the picture has shifted: Chelsea are now looking to move him on. Nothing formal has been lodged. This is early-stage interest, with a fee floated somewhere between €30m and €43m for a 28-year-old valued at around €22m. The link comes from Graeme Bailey, reporting for TEAMtalk, and he is a solid, well-regarded voice. His wording is deliberately cautious, though. Sánchez is framed as an option Tottenham "could" pursue, one of several under consideration rather than a target they have committed to. For now this rests on a single credible report, not a chorus of corroboration. The chance reads as against the odds. Two things need to line up: Chelsea's willingness to sell is there, but Tottenham are only exploring, and the money is the sticking point. A €30m to €43m ask for a keeper valued near €22m is steep, and Tottenham are still looking at options rather than settling on one. Until they narrow the search, this stays a long shot. The fee talk fits Chelsea's recent selling pattern. They banked €35m selling to Everton, €35m from AC Milan in 2021, and €35m from Real Madrid in 2018. Sánchez himself cost Chelsea €23m from Brighton in 2023, so a €30m-plus resale would turn a tidy profit. Watch for Tottenham to firm up from browsing to a concrete approach, and for any sign the two clubs start discussing the fee seriously before t
