The goaltender Djordje Petrovic, on loan at the Racing Club in Strasbourg last season, is about to join the English club in Bournemouth in an operation that can surprise. The English club reached an agreement with Chelsea for an estimated transfer of £25 million (approximately €28.8 million). According to British media sources, the Serbian player should take a medical exam next week before signing a five-year contract. This signature marks the end of several weeks of uncertainty about Petrovic’s future, which had achieved an excellent season in Strasbourg but was not retained by Chelsea for the World Cup of Clubs. He was looking for a more ambitious European project, despite the possibility of a return to Alsace.

Petrovic’s decision to leave Chelsea is in a context where he anticipated competition for his place with Robert Sanchez and Filip Jorgensen. He hoped to find a club offering a more prestigious European project, a research that finally materialised with Bournemouth’s interest, which finally won the race despite the absence of future European competitions. This new opportunity represents an important challenge for the young goaltender, who wants to continue to advance and make a name for himself in European football.

In addition, former goaltender of the Racing Club in Strasbourg, Alexaandre Oukidjia, announced his arrival at IMT Belgrade. After participating in the summer preparation of the UNFP FC, he joined the Serbian club, where Miloos Lukovic also played. This new stage marks a new challenge in the career of Ukidjia, who after a predominantly French career and seven seasons at FC Metz, discovers the Serbian championship. The former player of the Racing Club in Strasbourg, where he played 118 matches between 2014 and 2018, continues his professional career with a new ambition.
