Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has reportedly lost trust in goalkeeper Enzo Maresca and is seeking an immediate update on him in the summer transfer window.
Sanchez was a key player for Maresca last season after making 32 appearances in the Premier League, but that could be about to change.
According to Calciomercato, Maresca “no longer trusts” Sanchez and wants to sign an upgrade on the 27-year-old this summer.
That upgrade could be AC Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who appears to be Chelsea‘s No.1 target.
It was recently claimed that Chelsea made an offer for Maignan that would have seen Kepa Arrizabalaga or Djordje Petrovic head in the opposite direction. However, the Conference League winners have seemingly failed with that proposal.
Kepa is set to join Arsenal instead, but it remains to be seen what Chelsea and Maresca do with Petrovic following his excellent loan spell at Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg.

Time running out for Mike Maignan to join Chelsea
Though Chelsea want to sign Maignan and the player is also keen on a move to Chelsea, the club are working with a deadline for the deal to be completed.
It is thought that Chelsea are keen to close a deal for Maignan by next Tuesday at the latest.
If that does not happen, then it is likely that they continue with their current options. That is what Sanchez will be hoping for, while Maignan staying at Milan would also be a positive development for Filip Jorgensen, who will be desperate to be Chelsea’s first-choice goalkeeper himself.
