“Sell him in January if he doesn’t improve” – Enzo Maresca opens up on selling Chelsea star if he doesn’t improve
Mykhaylo Mudryk could be traded by Chelsea in January if his play does not improve noticeably, according to reports. After spending an incredible £89 million to sign with Chelsea in January 2023, the Ukrainian winger has failed to leave his mark, and as a result, there is a “acceptance” among the team that his signing was a mistake.
With Chelsea defeating Arsenal to sign Mudryk, who became the most expensive player to leave Ukraine, there were great hopes for his arrival at Stamford Bridge. But in spite of the early fanfare surrounding his transfer, Mudryk has not performed well on the field. There’s a growing perception.
According to GIVEMESPORT, that the club’s investment in the player hasn’t paid off.
The 22-year-old winger has yet to find the back of the net this season and has only managed one assist, raising concerns over his future at the club. If Mudryk’s performances do not improve in the coming months, Chelsea will reportedly be ‘open’ to considering offers for him in the January transfer window, potentially cutting their losses on a player who has not lived up to his price tag.
Since his arrival, Mudryk has recorded just 12 goal contributions in 62 games—a stark contrast to the player Chelsea believed they were acquiring. His underwhelming form has led to growing frustration among fans and the club’s hierarchy, who had hoped he would become a key figure in the squad.
While Chelsea may be willing to move Mudryk on, finding a club willing to match their valuation could prove challenging. With no apparent interest from other clubs at present and his substantial wages posing a stumbling block, a move may not be straightforward.
Chelsea will undoubtedly be hoping for a turnaround in Mudryk’s form to either justify his place in the squad or attract potential suitors. As it stands, the next few months could be crucial for his future at Stamford Bridge.
