Chelsea Face Key Decision on Mykhaylo Mudryk’s Future as January Transfer Window Looms
Chelsea face a critical decision over the future of Mykhaylo Mudryk as they approach the January transfer window.
Despite being a high-profile signing, Mudryk has struggled to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge, with his playing time limited under manager Enzo Maresca.
Mudryk was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s recent 1-0 win over Bournemouth, where the likes of Christopher Nkunku and Jadon Sancho came off the bench to help secure victory.

Mudryk has been more active in the UEFA Conference League, though he has yet to impress consistently even in those matches.
With the arrival of Brazilian wonderkid Estevao next summer, Mudryk could face even stiffer competition for playing time.
Chelsea’s management must also weigh the financial aspect of Mudryk’s situation, as his market value is declining due to his lack of regular contributions.
This raises the question of whether the club should offload him in January to avoid further losses, or give him more time to adapt and prove his worth.
The next three months will be crucial for both Mudryk and Chelsea, as the club evaluates whether to persist with the 22-year-old or make a more decisive move in the transfer market.
