The goaltender of the Racing Club in Strasbourg, Djordje Petrovic, formalized his transfer to Bournemouth, an English Premier League club. This choice, surprising for some, comes after a solid season in Strasbourg and a period of uncertainty about its future. Petrovic, eager to move forward and find a more ambitious European project, has favoured this new destination over other offers, notably Sunderland. The transfer amounts to around £25 million, or more than €28 million, for a period of five years.

The arrival of Djordje Petrovic in Bournemouth is part of a context where the French guard had initially hoped for a place of tenure in Chelsea, after having been loaned to Strasbourg. However, he was not included in the team group for the World Cup Clubs, which prompted him to look for a new opportunity. Despite the possibility of staying in Alsace, Petrovic favoured a more prestigious European project, even though Bournemouth did not compete in European competitions next season.

Bournemouth’s choice represents a significant advance in Djordje Petrovic’s career, giving him increased visibility in a leading championship. After several weeks of negotiations with two English clubs, Bournemouth finally managed to agree with the player. This decision marks the end of a chapter in the career of the Serbian guard and the opening of a new challenge in a competitive environment. Petrovic’s arrival is seen as an important reinforcement for the English club, which seeks to consolidate its staff.
