The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea sent Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic on loan to RC Strasbourg last summer due to concerns over his ability to play out from the back, a key requirement under Enzo Maresca. Initially hesitant about the move, Petrovic has reportedly improved in this area while playing under English manager Liam Rosenior in Ligue 1.

With the loan set to end this summer, Petrovic’s future remains undecided. Sources suggest Chelsea could either reintegrate him into the squad or cash in, with an estimated valuation of £25m. However, that price tag could deter potential suitors. Petrovic has also switched agencies, now being represented by UK-based Unique Sports Group, who will oversee negotiations regarding his next move.

Key Points

  • Petrovic was loaned to Strasbourg to improve his ball-playing skills.
  • Chelsea initially had concerns over his ability to play out from the back under Maresca.
  • Sources say the move has been productive, helping him develop in this area.
  • His future remains uncertain—Chelsea could keep him or sell for around £25m.
  • UK-based Unique Sports Group has taken over his representation ahead of summer negotiations.
