Leverkusen Eyes Petrovic Amid Managerial, Chelsea Moves

Bayer Leverkusen are preparing for a managerial change as Xabi Alonso is targeted by Real Madrid, with Erik ten Hag and Xavi Hernandez considered as replacements. The German club is also interested in signing Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, who impressed on loan at Strasbourg this season. Chelsea, now managed by Enzo Maresca, must decide whether to keep or sell Petrovic amid strong competition for their starting spot. At the same time, Chelsea are pursuing Borussia Dortmund winger Jamie Gittens and leading the race to sign Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen, with the possibility of including Jadon Sancho in a swap deal for Gittens. Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has expressed hope to retain Petrovic, highlighting the goalkeeper’s rising reputation. These developments reflect a period of significant transition for both Bayer Leverkusen and Chelsea.
