Mykhailo Mudryk’s Chelsea career is on the brink of collapse. Despite his £88.5m price tag, the Ukrainian winger has failed to impress since joining the Blues in January 2023.
Mudryk’s struggles have been evident, with a meager 61 minutes of Premier League action this season. His lack of playing time has sparked frustration, and sources close to the club told TEAMtalk that a January exit is all but certain.
Marseille have emerged as potential suitors, with manager Roberto De Zerbi believing he can unlock Mudryk’s true potential. The French club’s interest aligns with their ambition to challenge Paris Saint-Germain for Ligue 1 supremacy.
Chelsea’s decision to offload Mudryk is also driven by the arrivals of Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho. The duo has strengthened Chelsea’s attacking lineup, pushing Mudryk further down the pecking order.
Manager Enzo Maresca has publicly expressed his disappointment with Mudryk’s form, emphasizing the need for improvement. However, with Mudryk’s value dwindling, a loan move appears the most likely outcome.
A successful loan spell could revive Mudryk’s flagging career, potentially boosting his valuation. Chelsea are considering new signings, including a potential move for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen (currently on loan at Galatasaray), as they seek to strengthen their squad.
As Mudryk’s future hangs in the balance, Chelsea turn their attention to Saturday’s Premier League clash with West Ham United at London Stadium. The Blues will seek to maintain their momentum and continue their push up the table.
