Premier League
Chelsea has agreed to the permanent transfer of Djordje Petrovic to Bournemouth for a sum close to 25 million pounds. The Serbian goalkeeper, who was not part of Enzo Maresca's plans for the upcoming season, will join the southern English team after being given the green light to undergo a medical examination and sign a five-year contract. The move represents a key step for both parties: Chelsea lightens its squad, and Bournemouth finds the starting goalkeeper it was looking for.

Petrovic arrives after a standout loan season at Strasbourg, where he played 31 matches and was a key player in the team's qualification for the Conference League. His performance earned him the recognition of the fans, who voted him as the best player of the season. However, despite his good form, he did not have a guaranteed place at Stamford Bridge due to the presence of Robert Sánchez and Filip Jörgensen, who were the main goalkeepers during the last campaign.
Chelsea sells Djordje Petrovic to Bournemouth
The 25-year-old goalkeeper, who previously played for New England Revolution before coming to England, made 31 official appearances for the Blues. His desire was to establish himself as a starter, something that Bournemouth is willing to offer him following Kepa Arrizabalaga's departure and Neto's return, as the latter does not have his position as number one guaranteed.
With this operation, the team managed by Andoni Iraola addresses a crucial need for its project, while Chelsea continues to streamline its overpopulated squad. Petrovic, on the other hand, will now have the opportunity to shine consistently in the Premier League, in a team where everything indicates he will have a starting role from the first minute.
