For several days, the name of Mykhailo Mudryk has been mentioned at OM. Failing at Chelsea, the Ukrainian would be an interesting move on loan. However, Pablo Longoria’s plan is put in danger by the Blues.
OM are satisfied with their start to the season, a little less so with the names that make up their attack. The departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was only partially offset by summer arrivals. Neal Maupay and Elye Wahi are inferior to the Gabonese. Mason Greenwood is clearly the boss of the Marseille attack, even if his last outings have been much less convincing. A reinforcement would not be too much to provide technique and finishing in front of the goals. A profile that could apply to Mykhailo Mudryk, the young Ukrainian winger from Chelsea.
Chelsea manager won’t let go of Mudryk
Pablo Longoria and his recruitment unit made the same reasoning. OM is carefully following the case of the player recruited for nearly 100 million euros by the Blues in January 2023. According to the English media, the Marseille club wants to acquire Mudryk next January. The most likely option would be that of a loan so as not to impact Marseille’s finances. Enough to satisfy Chelsea except that one man is opposed to this scenario: Enzo Maresca. Even though the Ukrainian is often a substitute this season, his Italian manager trusts him and wants to use him in the future.
« Chelsea do not want to release Mykhailo Mudryk during the season, whether for a transfer or a loan. Mudryk must represent competition for Jadon Sancho, with more playing time this season. Enzo Maresca constantly challenges him to improve and always considers him important », writes TalkSport journalist Ben Jacobs on
