Chelsea FC is actively seeking a new goalkeeper to compete with Robert Sanchez for the starting position, according to The Telegraph. Despite Sanchez being likely to begin the season as Enzo Maresca's first choice, the club wants to bring in a goalkeeper who can push him for the No 1 spot.

This development casts doubt on Djordje Petrovic's immediate future at the club, as Maresca seeks a keeper with a similar playing style to Sanchez, who excels at playing out from the back. Andriy Lunin, linked to Chelsea earlier, does not fit the desired profile.

In a separate report, Chelsea is in talks to sign former Manchester United midfielder Andreas Pereira, with a verbal agreement in place that would allow him to leave for an acceptable offer. The Blues have already made significant signings this summer, including Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu, and Renato Veiga.

The search for a new goalkeeper and the potential signing of Pereira demonstrate Chelsea's ongoing efforts to strengthen their squad under new manager Enzo Maresca.
