According to French media "The Team", Chelsea intends to sell Petrovic for 25 million euros, and Strasbourg is unable to pay such an amount for a goalkeeper.
Andre Santos and Petrovic return to Chelsea on loan, and Strasbourg defender Mamadu Saar also transferred to the Blues with 20 million euros.
Andre Santos and Petrovic were once the key core of Strasbourg's success in Ligue 1, and Mamadu Sal also ranked among the top ten central defenders in the league, but so far, none of these three have entered Maresca's new season plan, and Chelsea are still buying players.
Take the goalkeeper position as an example: Chelsea has five goalkeepers. The Blues flew to the United States with Robert Sanchez, Philip Jorgensen, Penders and Slonina, but did not bring Petrovic. Petrovic was loved by Blues fans in the 2023-24 season. After spending a year in Strasbourg, Ben returned to the club with hopes and victory.
Chelsea management has shown him that the club prefers to sell him rather than let him serve as the No. 1 goalkeeper in the past three seasons.
Petrovic is priced at around 25 million euros, and Strasbourg is unable to pay such an amount for a goalkeeper. So Petrovic may join Sunderland or Bournemouth, both teams are interested in him.
Andre Santos and Mamadu Sal are not very clear. Both of them went to the United States with the team, but their respective playing time did not show that Maresca had enough trust in them.
Before the quarter-final against Palmeiras, both of them only played once in the 3-0 victory over Tunisian Hope: Andre Santos played for 22 minutes and Mamadu Sal played for 8 minutes. The rest of the time, they sat on the bench. Maresca attributes it to their need for time to adapt to Chelsea’s style.
Against Palmeiras, due to Rees James' injury during warm-up, Kesedo was suspended, and Ravia was injured, and Maresca had to send Andre Santos at the last moment. The player fully demonstrates his level as an intercepting midfielder: he is the player with the most successful tackles (5 times) and the most successful confrontations (9 times).
Andre Santos' contract is in 2029 and he hopes to stay at Chelsea. Mamadu Sal's contract is until 2033 and he does not object to staying in the team. Chelsea does not rule out the latter's loan for one season to get playing time, and there are rumors that Strasbourg is waiting for an opportunity.
