Djordje Petrovic Set for £25M Move from Chelsea to Bournemouth

July 14, 2025 – Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic is poised to join Bournemouth from Chelsea in a £25 million transfer, with his medical scheduled for this afternoon. The move marks a significant step for the 25-year-old, who joined Chelsea in 2023 from the New England Revolution in Major League Soccer, where he showcased his talent with seven clean sheets and a league-best four penalty saves in 21 appearances during the 2022 season.

Petrovic’s time at Chelsea has been limited, with only two Premier League starts in the 2023-24 season, prompting his loan spell at Strasbourg in 2024-25. The transfer aligns with Chelsea’s strategy to offload players not in manager Enzo Maresca’s long-term plans, especially after Petrovic was excluded from the Club World Cup squad currently in the final against Paris Saint-Germain.

Bournemouth, aiming to strengthen their squad for the 2025-26 Premier League season following a 12th-place finish last year, see Petrovic as a potential first-choice goalkeeper. The £25 million deal reflects the south coast club’s ambition to compete at a higher level. The transfer is expected to be finalized today, pending a successful medical, marking a new chapter for Petrovic in the English top flight.
