Of course the ambitious project would convince Petrovic, I can see why we might want to try strike a deal under their 30m target.
This is Sky's official line, not just from Keith but also Kaveh Solheol and Mark McAdam. Updated half an hour ago. Sunderland, Bournemouth interested in Petrovic Latest from Sky Sports News' Kaveh Solhekol, Mark McAdam and Keith Downie: Sunderland and Bournemouth are among multiple clubs in Europe interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic. Chelsea value the 25-year-old, who spent last season on loan at Strasbourg, at around £25m. Sunderland and Bournemouth are both likely to sign goalkeepers this summer.
Tbh, sounds like it is agreed with the player and the club have **** themselves after being burnt by Bulka. Managing expectations incase the same thing happens? I’m hopeful (please sign)
It’s my fault I watched an 8 minute highlight reel of him and told everyone I know he’s the best keeper in Europe
If it is the club pouring cold water on it to cool things down, its a little surprising they've not used Romano. So maybe all those other people are just behind. Who knows.
Just seen the sky sports story is not a Keith downie exclusive But rather Mark McAdam (Bournemouth) and Kaveh Solhekol aswell It’s not the club feeding out this info.
I mentioned Jovic earlier, would have worked with our new assistant at Milan so wonder if he is a target
Talks are not as advanced for Petrovic as they are for Saint-Gilloise midfielder Noah Sadicki, who is expected to join the club in €20 million deal in the coming days. Sadicki is having a medical on Wednesday afternoon and is expected to sign a five-year deal at the club. Sunderland expect significant competition for Petrovic from both within the Premier League (Sky Sports report that Bournemouth are keen on a deal) and from Europe's top divisions. - Phil Smith
