Chelsea They are reportedly looking to sell Mykhailo Mudryk to get their high wages off their books, according to former Premier League scout Mick Brown.
The Blues spent big to sign Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk a couple of years ago, but he has yet to really settle in at Stamford Bridge, and it is surely time to move on.
Chelsea want to sign the Premier League star for 80 million pounds!
talking with Football InsiderBrown, who has worked with Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham, has made it clear he hears Mudryk’s days at Chelsea appear to be numbered.
However, one problem now is that he is not sure if there will be that many clubs ready to swoop in and take the Ukraine international off the hands of the west Londoners.
Mudryk would likely be the target for around £30m, according to Brown, but that would represent a significant drop from what Chelsea paid for him.
What does the future hold for Chelsea failure Mykhailo Mudryk?
On Mudryk’s situation, Brown said: “I’ve heard they’re keen to move him (Mudryk) in January.
“I think they have the makings of a very good team at Chelsea, but it’s likely he won’t be part of it.
“At the moment there is no room for him in the team and I don’t think Maresca has been particularly impressed so far.
“But I don’t think they can make a profit on it or even get their money back, let’s put it that way.
“He also has a big contract, which they would like to get off the books if they can.
“That’s the problem they’ve got themselves into, though. Which clubs are going to be willing to pay his salary and spend a lot of money signing him?
“I think if clubs make a move for him they will probably look at paying around £30m at the most.
“So Chelsea might have to bite the bullet and accept it if they really want to get him through. They’ll have to cut their losses.”
