Leeds United are showing strong interest in one Chelsea star. The player recently had a superb season for Ligue 1 side where he was on loan. The Blues are ready to sell him and have also dropped him from CWC squad.
Chelsea are said to make multiple changes in their current squad. They are keen to sign some more top players. But, they will also need to focus on outgoings. This will help the club to open up space and raise funds. Now, one of such player is attracting interest from 3 Premier League clubs.
The star in question here is Djordje Petrovic. He is 25 year old Serbian keeper who Chelsea signed in 2023. But, they sent him on loan to Strasbourg last summer due to him not been impressive in Premier League. But, the player has been superb for the Ligue 1 side this season.
Petrovic played 31 games for Strasbourg in 2024/25 season. He registered 10 clean sheets along with 111 saves. The 25 year old had 74.5% save percentage and he even saved 1 penalty too. But, the player has still not been able to impress his parent club.
Earlier, Chelsea wanted to sign Maignan for the Club World Cup. But, they have failed to do so. However, they are still not interested to take Petrovic. Enzo Maresca has dropped the 25 year old from the CWC squad. This suggests that the Blues are ready to sell him permanently.
