Another Bravos talent heads to Florence

Sanchez spent his time with the Madrid Bravos primarily as a rotational player, appearing in 12 gameday roster spots last season and recording five tackles and a pass breakup. While his numbers reflect his role as a depth piece, the Red Lions are bringing him in as a player with potential and room to grow within their defensive system.

With Sanchez now signed, the Firenze Red Lions have made full use of the Spanish solidarity rule and completed another chapter in their roster building ahead of their debut season in 2026.
