Chelsea goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović could be on the move this summer
Chelsea goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović could be on the move this summer, as reports indicate that two Premier League clubs are in active discussions with the Blues over a potential transfer. The 24-year-old Serbian international, who joined Chelsea from MLS side New England Revolution in August 2023, has attracted interest following his impressive performances in the latter part of last season.
Petrović initially arrived at Stamford Bridge as a backup option but quickly earned the trust of the coaching staff due to his solid shot-stopping ability, quick reflexes, and composure under pressure. He featured in several key matches during Chelsea’s 2023/24 campaign, stepping up when first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sánchez suffered injuries and inconsistency.
Despite his strong performances, Chelsea are reportedly open to offers for the young goalkeeper as part of their ongoing squad reshuffle under manager Enzo Maresca. With plans to bring in a more experienced goalkeeper to challenge Sánchez, the club is willing to listen to proposals for Petrović if the price is right.
According to sources close to the club, two unnamed Premier League teams have expressed serious interest and have initiated preliminary talks with Chelsea. While the identities of the clubs have not been officially disclosed, both are believed to be mid-table sides in search of a reliable long-term option between the sticks. Their interest stems not only from Petrović’s performances but also from his affordability compared to other options in the market.
Chelsea reportedly value Petrović at around £15 million, and negotiations are said to be progressing positively. The player himself is understood to be open to the move, especially if it means regular first-team football and an opportunity to cement his place in the Serbian national team ahead of upcoming international tournaments.
This potential move is part of a broader trend at Chelsea, where the club is looking to streamline its squad and reduce the number of fringe players. The Blues have already let go of several players this summer and are looking to reinvest funds into key positions as they aim to return to the top four under their new manager.
