According to recent reports, Chelsea has made a decision regarding the future of their winger, Mykhailo Mudryk, as the January transfer window approaches. It seems that the 23-year-old has been struggling to secure playing time in the Premier League this season, leading to speculation that the Blues may be willing to let him go.
Initially, it was rumored that Mudryk could be on his way out of Chelsea in January, with Football Insider claiming that manager Enzo Maresca was not impressed with his performances. However, these claims have now been dismissed, and it appears that there is "no chance" Mudryk will be leaving the club when the transfer window opens.
In fact, it seems that Chelsea is fully behind Mudryk and has no plans to sell or loan him out. Despite only appearing in seven Premier League matches this season, with most of his playing time coming as a late substitute, Mudryk has been a regular in the UEFA Conference League. This is where the Blues have been rotating their key players in the first half of the season.
In those four Conference League fixtures, Mudryk has managed to contribute three goals and three assists. However, it should be noted that the level of competition in this tournament is not as high as that of the Premier League.
Chelsea made a significant investment of £88.5m to bring Mudryk to the club from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023, and he is currently under contract until 2031. In his time at Chelsea, he has played a total of 73 games across all competitions, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists.
Back in October, Shakhtar's chief general director, Sergiy Palkin, commented on Mudryk's situation at Chelsea, stating that the club does not know how to handle a player like him. He compared Mudryk to a Ferrari, saying that there is no point in having such a high-quality player if you don't know how to use him properly. However, Palkin also expressed confidence in Mudryk's abilities and believes he will prove himself when given the chance, highlighting his impact on the Ukrainian national team.
Overall, it seems that Chelsea is committed to keeping Mudryk and giving him the opportunity to showcase his talents. Despite his limited playing time in the Premier League, he has been performing well in other competitions and is highly valued by his club. So, it looks like Mudryk will be staying put at Chelsea for the time being.
