Only a year after signing goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, Chelsea is reportedly considering letting him go.
Petrovic, a Serbian international, joined the Blues from Major League Soccer last summer on a £12.5 million deal.
He made his Premier League debut in December, stepping in for the injured Robert Sanchez, and quickly became Mauricio Pochettino’s first-choice goalkeeper. Petrovic impressed by keeping five clean sheets in the remaining games of the 2023–24 season.
However, Petrovic’s absence from Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the United States, due to a minor injury, has sparked speculation about his future at the club. Though he is expected to rejoin the squad soon, his long-term position is uncertain.
The Athletic reports that new head coach Enzo Maresca has doubts about Petrovic’s fit within his tactical approach. As a result, Chelsea is open to listening to offers for the 24-year-old goalkeeper.
The club is exploring other goalkeeping options but has ruled out potential moves for Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsdale and Burnley’s James Trafford. Instead, Chelsea has shown interest in Villarreal’s Filip Jorgensen, who is highly rated by their scouts.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains unclear whether Petrovic will stay to compete for his place or seek opportunities at another club.
