Petrovic spent last season on loan at Strasbourg Bournemouth have made a move to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. While their offer hasn't been accepted, negotiations remain positive, with the 25-year-old keen to leave Stamford Bridge to become a first-team starter. The Cherries have been tracking Petrovic's situation for more than a year and are looking to sign a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season with them on loan from Chelsea, but joined Arsenal permanently at the start of July when his £5m release clause was triggered. Bournemouth have been made aware of an image rights issue that needs resolving to sign Serbia international Petrovic, who is valued at around £25m and agreed an initial seven-year contract with the Blues from New England Revolution in 2023. There is interest too from Sunderland, Monaco and also Strasbourg, where Petrovic enjoyed a successful loan spell in the previous campaign and won their player of the season award. Strasbourg are also owned by the same Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital ownership as Chelsea, and Petrovic ended up at the French club after being deemed not good enough with his feet by manager Enzo Maresca. He has made substantial improvement in that area during his spell in Ligue 1, but Petrovic has pushed to leave the Blues, opting against a call-up to their Club World Cup squad.
