Yeah after further digging, Transfermarkt has both Sanchez and Benoit Badiashile right around the same current value, both with two years remaining on their deals. I'd imagine Sanchez possibly makes a bit more to Badiashile. But in terms of value, that's as equal as a swap that could be done.
I would hate to lose Sanchez as I actually thought last season he was very good for us, thinks he provides great cover on the right hand side. However, we all know LCBs are more rare and I could see a scenario where Badiashile is attainable through Sanchez going the other way, with us using our funds to find another CB that can cover right and possibly even centrally.
Badiashile ticks a lot of boxes too. Left footed, 6'4", strong and comfortable on the ball. Not as expansive on the ball as a Bastoni or Torres but could develop into an absolute beast of a defender in the VVD mould.
