Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk was reportedly a target for Bayern Munich during the January transfer window.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has now revealed that Bayern Munich made a late attempt to sign Mykhailo Mudryk in the January transfer window. But Chelsea rejected an approach from them for the 23-year-old.
The Blues paid £89 million to sign the Ukrainian international winger. But he has not been able to live up to the expectations since moving to the Premier League. There have been rumours that Chelsea could look to cash in on him. However, it seems that the Blues are happy to hold on to him for now.
The 23-year-old winger has scored four goals across all competitions this season. He will need to improve his end product in order to thrive at a big club like Chelsea. The Blues will want to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need better players at their disposal.
There is no doubt that the 23-year-old has the quality to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker, and it remains to be seen whether he can get back to his best. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich could certainly use more quality and depth in the white areas. Mudryk would have been a useful acquisition for them.
Bayern Munich to return in summer?
It will be interesting to see if the Bundesliga champions decide to make a move for the player once again at the end of the season. A lucrative offer in the summer could be tempting for the Blues. The Bavarian outfit should look to test Chelsea’s resolve during the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, the winger will probably wants to continue at Stamford Bridge beyond this season and prove himself in the Premier League. He will be determined to make a name for himself in English football, and leaving Chelsea right now might not be an option for him pulls up
With that said, Bayern Munich are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and there is no reason why they cannot convince the winger to change his mind. Chelsea will hope that he can repay them for the faith they showed in him when they decided to pay top dollar for him.
