‘We’ll Buy Him Back’: Shakhtar Donetsk Chief Claims Mudryk Is Unhappy At Chelsea

Darijo Srna, Shakhtar Donetsk’s director of football recently said that the Ukrainian club will buy Mykhaylo Mudryk back from Chelsea.

Mudryk famously snubbed Arsenal to join Chelsea in the January transfer window. However, the move hasn’t worked out for him as he’s yet to score a goal or assist – or even be part of a winning team.

Arsenal, on the other hand, recently bounced back with a 4-2 win over Aston Villa to return to the summit of the Premier League standings.

Srna, who made a name for himself as a right-back during his playing career, claimed that Mudryk is currently not happy in West London due to the club’s recent form.

Shakhtar sold Mudryk for a massive fee in the January transfer window. While the winger was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal, he ended up going to their London rivals, Chelsea.

Speaking about the player’s current mentality, Srna told Football Ramble:

“The market decided the price, not me or our president. Mudryk is one of the best players in Europe in his position after Mbappe or Vincius then it’s Mudryk. If someone wants to buy a player from Shakhtar they must respect us. We know how to sell players and how to buy players.”

Srna added that the 22-year-old has the qualities to become one of the best players in the Premier League:

“He’s from our academy, an amazing kid, an amazing player. Unfortunately, at Chelsea now he’s not in a good mood, Mykhaylo as well, but he has all the qualities to be one of the best players in the Premier League in the next couple of years.”
