According to the Express, Chelsea could break the MLS transfer record with a bid for goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.

Chelsea are on the hunt for another goalkeeper after sanctioning the loan of Kepa Arrizabalaga to Real Madrid, and 23-year-old Petrovic has caught the eye.

It is thought that Petrovic would cost £24 million, which would be the highest-ever fee paid for an MLS player.

The record is currently held by Miguel Almiron, who joined Premier League club Newcastle United for £20.5m in 2019 from Atalanta United.

Petrovic is under contract in New England until 2025 with an option to extend for a further year. He was brought to the club to replace Matt Turner in 2022, who joined Arsenal.

Petrovic has played 48 times for the MLS side, keeping 15 clean sheets.
