The leaders of Chelsea will seek the departure of several players from the club during the January market, and the English media have reported that one of them could be Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian forward has struggled to fit in at Stamford Bridge since his £88.5m move from Shakhtar Donetsk.
Mudryk has also failed to convince the new Chelsea coach, Enzo Maresca. The Italian has made it clear that the player still has work to do if he wants to start at Stamford Bridge. But it seems that this opportunity may no longer be in the hands of the Ukrainians. The player himself is said to be looking for a transfer, as he wants to play regularly.
Mudryk has attracted the attention of several European clubs, including Bayern Munich, who expressed interest in loaning the player last January. However, the German club no longer seems interested. At the moment we speak, the club that has expressed the most concrete interest in Chelsea's Ukrainian is Marseille in France. The club's coach, Roberto de Zerbi, is a fan of the player and thinks he can bring out the best in Ligue 1.
A loan move is the most likely scenario, as big teams don't usually spend big in the January transfer window. Furthermore, Chelsea would find it almost impossible to recoup the same amount they spent to bring Mudryk to London, given the player's form. Even for the London club, the most ideal scenario is the loan one, as the attacker can regain his good form and increase the value of his card again.
Among other players who could leave Chelsea in January are Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Ben Chilwell.
