There are still likely to be a number of departures from Chelsea before the end of this summer transfer window.
Chelsea have already seen a number of first team stars leave for decent transfer fees, with Ian Maatsen and Omari Hutchinson moving on for significant profit on the books.
As for players who actually played a key role last season, there is still no real clarity over what is going to happen with Conor Gallagher. Diego Simeone is leading Atletico Madrid’s interest in signing him.
However, one player who has only been at the club for a year and played a key role in what went on last season has now seen his future thrown into doubt.
Djordje Petrovic swiftly found his way through as the number one last season, and hardly missed a game in 2024.
Djordje Petrovic Chelsea future in doubt
However, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea are now looking at signing a new goalkeeper who can push to become the number one.
It has been claimed that Robert Sanchez is expected to start the season for Enzo Maresca, which brings doubt over how much impact Petrovic can have going forwards.
Petrovic surprised Chelsea last season
Petrovic stunned Chelsea with how good he was last season, and ended up racking up 31 appearances in all competitions when many thought he was signed to sit on the bench.
Many will have been left thinking that the club do need a new goalkeeper, however likely have their standards pretty high.
After watching Euro 2024, there will be many who will have been keen for the Blues to bring in Diogo Costa after his penalty shootout heroics.
However, with Maresca keen to have his side playing out from the back, it is likely that a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet will be the profile the club bring in this summer.
