Djordje Petrovic putting finishing touches on Bournemouth move


Djordje Petrovic is on the brink of becoming a Bournemouth player and will undergo a medical later today after the club finalised terms of a deal with Chelsea.

The two clubs agreed a ยฃ25m transfer fee for the goalkeeper and Petrovic is set to sign a five-year deal with the Cherries having also negotiated and agreed personal terms.

Bournemouth has booked him in for a medical on Monday 14 July with an announcement of his signing expected sometime on Tuesday 15.

The Serbian wanted to secure a move away from Stamford Bridge and become a regular first team starter going to the lengths of refusing to be a part of Chelseaโ€™s Club World Cup winning squad.

He will become Bournemouth’s second signing of the summer following the ยฃ14m transfer of French left-back Adrien Truffert from Rennes.

Petrovic spent the 2024/25 season on a successful loan at Strasbourg where he made 31 appearances and won their player of the season award.

He joined Chelsea in August 2023 for an initial fee believed to be ยฃ12.5m but only made 23 appearances for the club as the No.2 goalkeeper behind Robert Sanchez.
