Liverpool have been linked with a surprise move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
The 23-year-old Ukraine international has failed to live up to expectations since moving to Stamford Bridge and has been criticized for his performances.
The winger could certainly use a fresh start and a move away from Chelsea could be ideal for him. It seems that Liverpool could be willing to offer him an exit route in the near future.
according to filesLiverpool are looking for players who can replace Mohamed Salah at full-back and are keeping an eye on the Chelsea winger. The report claims that Liverpool would be willing to negotiate a deal for the Ukrainian for a fee of around 35 million euros. The global package could reach 50 million euros and it remains to be seen if the two parties can reach an agreement.
The move would be quite surprising given Mudryk’s performances at Chelsea since joining the club (seven goals in 64 appearances). Salah has been a world class player for Liverpool and replacing him with the Chelsea flop would make no sense for the Reds.
The signing is unlikely to go down well with the fans.
Chelsea will hope to get rid of Mykhailo Mudryk
The Blues spent €100 million on the player and will be fully aware that they will have to accept a substantial loss on him if they sell him. Getting €50 million back for him might not be a bad option.
Chelsea will be able to invest the income from his departure into the squad.
It will be interesting to see how the situation evolves over the next few months. Salah is one of the best players in the world and Liverpool will need to replace him properly. It is highly unlikely that Mudryk will be able to fill the void left by him.
