Djordje Petrović (194cm / 6’4”, 89kg / 196lbs) has been one of Ligue 1’s top goalkeepers in the 2024/2025 campaign.
The 25-year-old Serbia international is playing a crucial role in Strasbourg’s fight for UEFA Champions League qualification, with Liam Rosenior’s side currently placed fifth in the league, one point behind Nice in fourth.
Petrović joined Le Racing on loan from English Premier League giants Chelsea for the 2024/2025 campaign after the Serb moved to West London from MLS side New England Revolution for a transfer fee of €16m in the summer of 2023.
The FK Čukarički product made 23 Premier League appearances for the Blues last season before departing Stamford Bridge on loan for the current campaign.
Petrović has gone on to thrive under Liam Rosenior tactics this term, giving Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca a lot to think about with regard to the ‘keeper’s future when he returns to England after this term’s conclusion.
