Mykhailo Mudryk, Chelsea's £89 million signing, may push to leave the club if he doesn't receive sufficient game time under new head coach Enzo Maresca. According to Football Insider, Mudryk's future is under "new doubt" despite his impressive performances, with the Ukrainian winger facing a crucial pre-season.
Mudryk has made 58 appearances for Chelsea since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk, scoring seven goals and providing four assists. His skills have drawn praise from Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who compared him to Arjen Robben. However, with intense competition in Chelsea's squad, Mudryk may seek a exit if he doesn't feature prominently in Maresca's plans.
This development comes as Chelsea has already sold Ian Maatsen to Aston Villa and is considering bids for other players. Romelu Lukaku, Armando Broja, Conor Gallagher, and Malang Sarr are among those who could follow Mudryk out of the exit door. Chelsea must balance their squad and meet Premier League regulations to avoid sanctions.
Mudryk's potential departure would be a significant loss for Chelsea, given his talent and potential. However, the club's need to trim their squad and comply with financial regulations may lead to tough decisions. As the transfer window unfolds, Chelsea fans will watch with bated breath to see if Mudryk remains at Stamford Bridge or joins the list of departing players.
