Mykhailo Mudryk’s journey at Stamford Bridge could be cut short in the upcoming January transfer window, as Chelsea is reportedly contemplating his departure due to a lack of adaptation, and their London rivals, Arsenal, are prepared to rekindle their interest in the 22-year-old.

Last January, Chelsea engaged in a fierce battle with Arsenal to secure the services of Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk. Although the attacker was leaning towards joining the Gunners, Chelsea’s offer of a more substantial financial package seemed to sway the decision in their favor.

Contrasting stories emerged, with some suggesting that Mudryk was convinced by Chelsea’s long-term project, envisioning a regular role at Stamford Bridge. However, his initial months at the club have not lived up to expectations, and he struggled to find his stride.

Amidst underwhelming performances, a recent goal against Arsenal boosted Mudryk’s confidence, but he was conspicuously absent from action during Chelsea’s recent defeat at home to Brentford.

While a previous report hinted that Chelsea had no intentions of selling Mudryk in January, the latest information presents a different picture. The Blues are now open to the possibility of letting the 22-year-old depart before the next transfer window.

The report outlines two potential scenarios: Chelsea is interested in a loan move for Mudryk to provide him with valuable experience. Alternatively, they are also open to a permanent sale, provided the right conditions are met. While a loan move was initially in their plans, questions now surround the potential asking price for a permanent transfer.

Arsenal, on the other hand, appears keen on rekindling their interest in the 22-year-old Chelsea star. The extent to which these rumors hold true remains uncertain, but the Gunners are actively seeking a wide attacker.

With their plans for Pedro Neto possibly on hold due to his recent injury, Arsenal may shift their focus back to Mudryk. Whether Chelsea is willing to sell to a direct rival is another question that lingers, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the evolving transfer saga.
