Chelsea agree deal with newly promoted Premier League club
The West London club are ready to part ways with multiple players. One of them is Djordje Petrovic. He is 25 year old Serbian keeper whom the Blues signed in summer 2023. But, Petrovic was unable to impress at West London due to which he was sent on loan last summer.
Petrovic was sent to Chelsea’s sister club Strasbourg. He was superb for them in the latest season. He played 31 games in Ligue 1 and was able to keep 10 clean sheets. In addition, he made 111 saves with an amazing 74.5% accuracy.However, this was not enough for Petrovic to break into Chelsea’s lineup.
The Serbian has been dropped by Enzo Maresca from their Club World Cup squad. The Blues are instead keen to sell him on permanent deal. They have already agreed deal with Sunderland who have recently been promoted to Premier League. But, the 25 year old is not ready to join them.
Petrovic wants to move abroad this summer
According to Fanatik, Petrovic is wanted by Galatasaray. The Turkish giants have made the 25 year old their top priority. Petrovic too is keen to join them despite Chelsea reaching agreement with Sunderland. But, it will not be easy for Galatasaray to sign him this summer.
Chelsea want €25 million for Petrovic this summer. Galatasaray are unwilling to spend this amount and instead are eyeing loan with an option to buy. They tried to offer €5 million rental and €15 million option to buy. But. This offer was rejected by the Blues. Galatasaray are unwilling to give up and hence have increased their rental offer to €7.5 million.
