Galatasaray are reportedly interested in signing Djordje Petrovic from Chelsea this summer. They have made a loan with a buy option offer to the Blues.
As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray are set to sign Leroy Sane from Bayern Munich this summer. The winger was linked with both Arsenal and Chelsea, but the Turkish giants look set to snap him up. They are now interested in strengthening their goalkeeping department.
As per journalist Sami Yen Haber, Galatasaray have already made a loan offer for Petrovic. He reported on X (formerly Twitter):
Chelsea signed Petrovic from the New England Revolution in the summer of 2023. He made 31 appearances for them, keeping seven clean sheets. He was then sent out on loan to Strasbourg for the 2024-25 season, recording 10 clean sheets in 31 games across competitions.
He now appears set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer. As per The Telegraph, Petrovic also asked not to be included in the Blues’ squad for the FIFA Club World Cup this month. He hasn’t traveled to the United States as he wants to move to a club where he will be the first-choice goalkeeper.
Kepa Arrizabalaga is set to join Arsenal for a reported fee of £5 million this summer. He was on loan at Bournemouth last season and helped them keep nine clean sheets in 35 games across competitions.
Former Blues winger Shaun Wright-Phillips said that he doesn’t understand the reason for selling Kepa to Arsenal. He believes the Spaniard could’ve become their first-choice goalkeeper. He said (via Metro):
Kepa is still the most expensive goalkeeper in the world after the west London side bought him for a reported fee of £72 million from Atletico Madrid in 2018. He made 163 appearances for them before spending the last two seasons on loan at Real Madrid and Bournemouth, respectively.

He has been a fan of Tottenham Hotspur’s front foot and creative football since 2008 and connect’s with the club’s underdog status.
Aditya, who is a Sportskeeda ‘Long-form Editor of the Month’ award winner, is a big admirer of Luka Modric’s elegant and hard-working style of play. His favorite manager is Carlo Ancelotti because the Italian allows his players enough freedom in an age where micromanagement is the established norm.
Aditya feels Jude Bellingham and Jamal Musiala could replicate the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry due to their incredible collective potential. In his free time, he likes to read classical fiction, travel to places, and explore a variety of foods.
