According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea reportedly received an official relocation bid for backup goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
Serbia International struggles with playing time at Stamford Bridge, but it could possibly be a good option for many other Premier League clubs.
Bournemouth now appears to be stepping up efforts to sign Petrovich, with Romano reporting that he has made an official bid for the Bruce.
See below as posted by Romano.Bournemouth has submitted an official official bid to Chelsea for Djordje Petrovic. Ongoing negotiations between clubs where players are enthusiastic while on the move… Nothing was finished in Sunderland last week as Bournemouth hopes to get the deal done. ”
Chelsea currently has Robert Sanchez as number one, so Petrovich is probably a good fit to leave the West London Club to get more playing time.
Chelsea goalkeeper options for next season
Chelsea loaned Kepa Alizabaraga to Bournemouth last season, so it makes sense that Cherry is pursuing goal replacements.
Meanwhile, Kepa was later sold to Arsenal, so Chelsea may perhaps be suitable to bring in a new backup “keeper” if Petrovich joins Bournemouth.
In fact, there will be plenty of CFC fans who want to see the club replace Sanchez.
Still, Petrovic doesn’t often play an obvious role, either as Enzo Maresca’s number one or as a backup.
Bournemouth fans hope Petrovich can do a good job for them, as did Petrovich when he joined from Chelsea last season.
Aside from Chelsea’s transfer, it’s the fact that after yesterday’s victory at Fulminence, they are now reaching the Club World Cup final, with either Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain coming to the finals.
