Djordje Petrovic being left out of Chelsea’s Club World Cup squad has got people talking about where he might end up. The Serbian keeper, who did really good during his time at RC Strasbourg Alsace is in a weird spot cause of some image rights stuff that’s not sorted yet. Lots of teams in Europe want him, including AS Monaco, and everyone’s waiting to see what happens next with him.
- Him not being picked for the squad makes you wonder if he’s staying at Chelsea.
- They gotta sort out the image rights stuff before he can move anywhere.
- AS Monaco and some other clubs really want to get him.
Petrovic’s Situation at Chelsea
People noticed when Petrovic wasn’t in Chelsea’s FIFA Club World Cup squad, especially since he played so well at Strasbourg. Chelsea tried to get AC Milan’s Mike Maignan but couldn’t which makes things even more confusing with Petrovic. The team’s already got lots of keepers like Robert Sanchez Filip Jorgensen and their new guy Mike Penders so they might need to get rid of someone.

This whole image rights thing is making everything harder with moving Petrovic anywhere. Chelsea’s gotta figure out if they wanna keep him or let him go somewhere he can play more matches. If you wanna know more about what Chelsea’s doing with their team check out their page.
Interest from European Clubs
Quite a few teams in Europe want Petrovic, and AS Monaco really wants to sign him. People have been watching how good he is at Strasbourg. AS Monaco thinks he’d be great for their team cause they need someone good in goal. All this is happening while other stuff is going on like Aston Villa maybe losing some players to Saudi teams.

The Road Ahead for Petrovic
Being 25, this is a really important time for Petrovic. Going from Chelsea to Strasbourg and maybe somewhere else next shows how crazy football transfers can be. Chelsea who’s pretty smart about managing their players needs to decide what to do with him. Nothing can really happen till they sort out this image rights problem though.
