Chelsea are reportedly closing in on the signing of goalkeeper Djorde Petrovic, and his wife Djina will likely accompany him to England.
The Sun reports that the Blues have sealed a £14 million deal with MLS side New England Revolution for Petrovic. The Serbian goalkeeper will join the Blues and likely become backup to No.1 Robert Sanchez.
His wife, Djina, is a former Miss Serbia and also took part in Miss Earth in the Phillippines in 2021. The 23-year-old also owns her own clothing brand named 'Fashion Djins'.
The clothing brand's Instagram account has 4,550 followers, but her husband's move to Chelsea will likely help increase interest in her. The duo have reportedly been long-term partners, meeting when Djorde played for FK Cukaricki in the Serbian SuperLiga.
Djorde Petrovic, 23, joined New England Revolution in 2022 for a mere €909,000. However, they tied the knot before the move, posting pictures of their special day on Instagram. Djina captioned one romantic post of the couple:
"Forever"
Djina models items from her clothing brand on her Fashion Djins Instagram account.
That includes T-shirts, jumpsuits and other garments. Her own Instagram account boasts 24.8 thousand followers, but that should rise in no time following her husband's transfer to Chelsea.
Soon-to-be Chelsea goalkeeper Djorde Petrovic has earned plaudits during his time in MLS
Chelsea are close to completing a deal to sign Djorde Petrovic, with the Serbian goalkeeper undergoing his medical at Stamford Bridge, per CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.
Many of the Blues' fanbase will be unfamiliar with Petrovic, but they're signing a shot-stopper who has earned a glowing verdict from Brad Friedel. The Premier League legend branded him the best goalkeeper in the MLS:
"He has a wonderful career ahead of him and has been the best goalkeeper in the MLS by a country mile. I've mentioned him to quite a few PL teams!"
Petrovic came second in the voting for the 2022 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year. He was named in the MLS All-Star squad that suffered a 5-0 defeat to Arsenal in pre-season, coming off the bench in the second half.
The Serbian shot-stopper has kept 14 clean sheets in 43 MLS games. He also ranks second for saves in the MLS (184) since arriving at New England Revolution.
