Joining Bournemouth from Chelsea, Djordje Petrovic will become the most expensive goalkeeper in this team history. This is considered a strong investment of Bournemouth for the new season 2025/26.
Djordje Petrovic moved to Chelsea during the summer transfer window 2023 from New England Revolution for a fee of £ 14 million. At Chelsea, the Serbian goalkeeper signed a contract with a term of 7 years, with an option for 1 year extension.
After a season for Chelsea and 31 matches, Petrovic was borrowed by Strasbourg in the 2024/25 season and was extremely impressive. Returning to Chelsea after the end of the loan contract with the French team, Petrovic still did not have the opportunity at Stamford Bridge. He even was eliminated by coach Enzo Maresca from the FIFA Club World Cup squad.
And now, Chelsea has decided to sell Petrovic. Specifically, the Blues agree to sell Petrovic to Bournemouth for a fee of 25 million pounds. The 25 -year -old goalkeeper is preparing to go to Bournemouth for medical examination and sign a 5 -year contract.
According to Transfermarkt, when joining Bournemouth, Petrovic will become the goalkeeper bought at the highest fee in this team history. And yet, Petrovic is about to become a goalkeeper sold for Chelsea's second highest fee. At the top of this list is Thibaut Courtois (35 million euros), while Edouard Mendy is ranked third for 18.5 million euros, after Courtois and Petrovic.
Leaving Chelsea after two years of attachment, Petrovic will become the third goalkeeper to break up the team in the summer transfer window this year. Before Petrovic, the Blues sold Kepa to Arsenal for a fee of 5.8 million euros and Marcus Bettinelli to Man City for 2.4 million euros.
Besides, Chelsea also sold defender Bashir Humphreys to Burnley for a fee of 14 million euros and upcoming, Chelsea also agreed to let Noni Madueke join Arsenal for 60 million euros.
