On 28 May 2020, Sánchez renewed his contract with the Nazaríes for a further campaign.[5] He first appeared in the UEFA Europa League on 5 November by playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away win against AC Omonia,[6] and completed a trio of debuts three days later by starting in a 0–2 La Liga away loss against Real Sociedad.[7]
On 27 January 2023, Sánchez was loaned to Primera Federación side Deportivo de La Coruña for the remainder of the season.[8] On 26 July, he moved to fellow third division side UD Ibiza on a two-year contract.[9]
Sánchez left the Celestes in the middle of 2024, and spent a period on trial at CD Castellón in September of that year.[10] On 4 December 2024, he signed a contract with Albacete Balompié in the second division until 2026.[11]
