Even though Mykhailo Mudryk is still suspended for doping, Sevilla is allegedly considering making a surprise offer for the Chelsea winger during the summer transfer window. Following a preliminary ban from competitive football, the Ukrainian international has not played for the Blues since November 28. Although his future at Stamford Bridge is still up in the air, clubs all over Europe are closely monitoring his condition.
The 24-year-old has already been linked to a €50 million move from Manchester United, but according to Spanish publication Sport, Sevilla is also interested, assuming Mudryk is exonerated of any wrongdoing. After agreeing to a contract for up to £89 million, the Blues paid an initial £62 million to sign Mudryk in 2023, but the 24-year-old’s transition to the Premier League has not been particularly convincing.
Before his suspension, he was hardly a sure starter and had only managed five goals and four assists in 53 competition appearances. In the summer, Mudryk might be on the move, and SPORT reports Sevilla is considering providing an escape route for him, who obviously needs to revitalize a career that has stopped miserably.
Mykhailo Mudryk handed surprise transfer lifeline
Mudryk is currently suspended after failing a doping test while serving with Ukraine in late 2024. Although the results are unknown at this time, it is likely that they will reveal the same thing, and Mudryk will be out of commission for a considerable amount of time.
Although there is still a chance that he could challenge the ruling and continue to play in the interim, it still seems improbable that Sevilla will accept the risk and possible legal complications of any deal—especially with everything so uncertain.
When a player is on the verge of suspension, how can you organize your squad? If he were a game-changing player who could help them advance, it may make sense, but given how poorly he has performed at Chelsea, nobody is inclined to take a chance, even if there is only a remote chance. Above all, some clarification in Mudryk’s case is required. To keep him and the club in suspense is unfair.
