Bournemouth have made a move to sign Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic.
While their offer hasn't been accepted, negotiations remain positive, with the 25-year-old keen to leave Stamford Bridge to become a first-team starter.
The Cherries have been tracking Petrovic's situation for more than a year and are looking to sign a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season with them on loan from Chelsea, but joined Arsenal permanently at the start of July when his £5m release clause was triggered.
Bournemouth have been made aware of an image rights issue that needs resolving to sign Serbia international Petrovic, who is valued at around £25m and agreed an initial seven-year contract with the Blues from New England Revolution in 2023.
