Bournemouth have bought Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic for £25 million.
The Serbia international spent last season on loan at Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, which shares the same multi-club ownership format as Chelsea.
Petrovic joined Chelsea for £14 million in the summer of 2023 from the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.
Bournemouth have been looking for a goalkeeper having had Kepa Arrizabalaga on loan from Chelsea last season. The Spaniard signed for Arsenal this summer while Bournemouth also sold ‘keeper Mark Travers to Everton.
Petrovic is Bournemouth’s first significant outlay on a goalkeeper since they were promoted to the Premier League in 2015.
He was viewed as a good market opportunity once it became clear he was available after an impressive season in France.
