According to spectacular claims from Spain, Chelsea is apparently working on a deal to send Mykhailo Mudryk out on loan for the second half of the 2023–24 season.
The 22-year-old Mudryk has struggled since joining the Blues for an initial €70 million transfer from Shakhtar Donetsk in January and is yet to register his first goal in a competitive game.
While he did score a goal against Brighton & Hove Albion during the Premier League Summer Series, his only other competitive goal-contributing assists were against Leicester City and Brighton the previous season.
Mudryk has started the new season as an impact substitute rather than a starter despite a great preseason during which he started forming a good relationship with new recruit Nicolas Jackson.
The west London club is getting ready to achieve that by loaning Mudryk out in January, claims Spanish source Fichajes.
Mudryk to leave Chelsea on loan?
According to Fichajes’ claim, Chelsea is negotiating a deal that would be advantageous for Mudryk and themselves, with a six-month loan move being taken into consideration.
According to the report, there are several clubs who would be interested in taking Mudryk on loan, and Chelsea are willing to do so in order to help the 22-year-old regain his form.
For a starting berth at Stamford Bridge, Mudryk is now up against Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Ian Maatsen, and, apparently, Chilwell.
When Christopher Nkunku makes his comeback from injury in November, Mudryk will probably fall even further down the pecking order and possibly toward a loan move.
