Bournemouth have now made their move to sign Djordje Petrović, submitting an official bid to Chelsea for the Serbian goalkeeper.
The Petrović Bournemouth Chelsea transfer has taken a decisive step forward, with talks between the two clubs now ongoing. Petrović is keen on the move and has already given the green light to join Andoni Iraola’s side.
Sunderland Now Out of the Picture
Despite reports last week linking Sunderland with a move for Petrović, sources say nothing was close with the Championship side.
“Sunderland were never close. Bournemouth are now hopeful of getting this wrapped up quickly.” — Transfer source
The Cherries are now front-runners to land the 24-year-old and believe they can get a deal done well before pre-season ends.
Bournemouth Push for Swift Agreement
Petrović joined Chelsea last summer from New England Revolution but has found himself second-choice behind Robert Sánchez.
With Chelsea open to a sale and Petrović seeking first-team minutes, Bournemouth believe now is the perfect time to strike. The club are building for a stronger 2025/26 campaign and view the goalkeeper as a key upgrade.
| Stat (2024/25) | Petrović |
|---|---|
| Appearances (All Comps) | 18 |
| Clean Sheets | 7 |
| Saves per 90 | 3.8 |
| Save % | 78.6% |
| Contract Until | June 2030 |
