Since moving to New England in 2022, Petrovi, 23, has established himself as one of the league’s top goalkeepers. Bruce Arena and his team needed a goalie after USMNT player Matt Turner left for Arsenal, and in Petrovi, they scored an MLS record-breaking deal. Petrovic, who was acquired from FK Ukariki for only $900,000, immediately established his value.

Desired Man

The European team that first inquired about the Serb was not Chelsea. New England rejected Nantes’ and Nottingham Forest’s approaches, which resulted in dissatisfaction with their star goalkeeper. New England could no longer contain Petrovi when a giant like Chelsea entered the scene. With this amount, Petrovi will tie Pity Martnez for the fourth-highest transfer fee in league history and become the most expensive goalie to leave the league.

Goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic will be transferred from Revolution to Chelsea for a record $17 million fee, according to The Boston Globe.

Petrovi will go up against fellow newbie Robert Sánchez for the opening position in West London. The truth is that Sanchez isn’t significantly superior to Petrovi at this point merely because he has Premier League experience.

The following gem in the rough will have large shoes to fill given the growing reputation of New England goalkeepers over the past five years. And a valuation on the market that will probably rise.
