Chelsea mull selling Petrovic as transfer interest grows - reports

Chelsea goalkeeper Petrovic Djordjevic is attracting significant transfer interest from Premier League and European clubs, prompting the Blues to consider selling him before the Club World Cup starts.

Petrovic's first season in England was decent, if not spectacular, after joining Chelsea for £14 million from the MLS.

After impressing in the League Cup, Petrovic established himself as Chelsea's No. 1 goalkeeper, despite struggling with shot-stopping metrics.

However, his loan spell at RC Strasbourg has been outstanding, with a net post-shot expected goals metric of +9.7, ranking him as the sixth-best goalkeeper in Europe.

Petrovic's improvement in shot-stopping and kicking ability has been notable, but questions about his suitability for Chelsea's style under Enzo Maresca have persisted.

With interest from other clubs growing, Chelsea may be tempted to sell Petrovic, potentially capitalizing on his impressive form and recouping some of their investment.
