Bournemouth recently made a transfer offer to sign Đorđe Petrović, and it would appear that their offer was a good one as they have now reportedly reached an agreement with Chelsea as well.
As first reported by David Ornstein, and shortly thereafter corroborated by the BBC, Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs, the Blues and the Cherries have agreed on a transfer fee worth £25m, although the exact structure of the deal is not yet known.

Petrović wanted to be a starting goalkeeper for a major club, and with no assurances over his role at Chelsea, he decided to embark on a new challenge. In addition to Bournemouth, he had attracted transfer interest from the likes of Sunderland, AS Monaco, and Aston Villa.
Petrović will now head for his medical, presumably on Monday, ahead of signing a five-year contract. He will replace former Chelsea goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga, who spent last season on loan at the Vitality Stadium and has since joined Arsenal.
