Goalkeeping targets this summer include Mike Maignan of AC Milan, Andre Onana of Inter, and Illan Meslier of Leeds as they attempt to bolster their goalkeeping corps.
However, Maignan is apparently disinterested in a move, and the Blues appear to have moved their emphasis to the Seagulls' Spanish goalkeeper in addition to other possibilities.
At the end of the season, Jason Steele took Sanchez's place in the starting lineup when Roberto Di Zerbi said he preferred to stay at home rather than sit on the bench.
The Blues' enthusiasm in Sanchez does not appear to have been dampened by his antics at the Amex Stadium, as they are now looking to lure him to Stamford Bridge.
Last season, with Mendy out of the lineup, the most expensive goalkeeper in the world appeared to assume the No. 1 jersey, but this is not believed to be a long-term change for the Spaniard at the club.
According to Sky Italia, Chelsea is keeping an eye on Sanchez's status because it's believed that Brighton would be willing to allow the Spaniard leave this summer.
Although the 25-year-old's contract still has two years left, delaying another year could result in the stopper leaving on his own after 2024.
According to reports, the Blues have already set up conversations with Onana and are looking into the idea of a swap deal in which players like Kalidou Koulibaly and Romelu Lukaku would transfer in the opposite direction.
The Cameroonian is valued by Inter.
Following the Spaniard's exclusion from the matchday squad, De Zerbi said, "With Robert, we spoke before the Arsenal game and we decided together the best solution was to stay home."
He makes all decisions. Robert makes a decision, and as of right now, it is as said. He preferred this outcome above mine or the club's.
The goalkeeper had been Brighton's first choice in goal until early March, when Steele replaced him. Since then, he has been limited to FA Cup appearances and covering for the former Sunderland player when injured.
Despite losing to Aston Villa on the final day of the season, Brighton nonetheless finished sixth and qualified for the Europa League in his absence.
