Chelsea are actively pursuing Villarreal’s goalkeeper, Filip Jorgensen, as a replacement for Petrovic, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The Premier League club has made a first bid in the region of €20 million for the 21-year-old Danish shot-stopper.
This development follows earlier discussions with the player, who has expressed a strong interest in joining Chelsea.
Jorgensen reportedly gave his approval for the move last week, signaling his eagerness to transition to the Premier League.
The negotiations between Chelsea and Villarreal are ongoing, with the initial bid being submitted today, Wednesday.
Jorgensen’s potential transfer is part of Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca’s plan to strengthen the squad ahead of the upcoming season.
Stay tuned for further updates as the talks progress and both clubs work towards finalizing the deal.
