Chelsea Open To Selling Mudryk In January Transfer Window

Chelsea want to get rid of several fringe players in the January transfer window and sources have informed TEAMtalk that Mykhailo Mudryk could leave.

Mudryk has struggled to get consistent playing time since his £88.5m move to Stamford Bridge from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The 23-year-old has so far failed to settle into new manager Enzo Maresca’s system, with the Italian making it clear that the winger has work to do if he is to become a regular in the starting XI.

TEAMtalk understands that this has left the Ukrainian desperate to move elsewhere to get more consistent playing time and a solution could be sought in January.

Chelsea are understood to be open to offloading Mudryk in the window, with sources describing a move away from the club as “very possible.”

There is interest in Mudryk from the Premier League and around Europe. Bayern Munich, for example, pushed to sign him on loan in January of this year.

Bundesliga giants Bayern are still looking at Mudryk but their interest has diminished now that Thomas Tuchel has left and Vincent Kompany took charge.

Sources have told TEAMtalk that there is interest in Mudryk from French side Marseille. Their manager Roberto de Zerbi is a big fan of the winger and believes he can get the best out of him.

A loan move is the most likely outcome for Mudryk in January as clubs are not usually keen to splash out big sums mid-season.
