Bayer Leverkusen are linked with a surprise move for Mykhailo Mudryk, with the report stating Chelsea have not decided on the Ukrainian’s future
According to Fichajes, Bayer Leverkusen are linked with a move for Mykhailo Mudryk, who remains on the sidelines following a doping controversy. The Ukrainian winger’s future is up in the air following a positive doping test, which does cast doubts over his prospects, especially with the links to Bayer Leverkusen.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s once promising career has become a source of controversy, as the winger continues to stay on the sidelines with a doping controversy. The Ukrainian winger tested positive for a banned substance, although no verdict has come out regarding the matter.
The FA are yet to charge the Ukranian with any sort of punishment, which has cast doubts about his immediate and long-term future. Even before the doping controversy came along, Chelsea had thought about selling him in January following a below-par start to life in the two years spent at the club until that point.
Newcastle United were one of the clubs interested, but as soon as the doping controversy became a problem, no club were willing to take their chances. With his future still unclear, Bayer Leverkusen have registered a surprise interest in the 24-year-old Chelsea misfit.
The Bundesliga holders are expected to make some additions in the close season as they do anticipate a few departures from their current squad. For instance, Jeremie Frimpong could depart, which would leave a huge void in the wide areas. The idea of signing Mudryk would be to improve their attacking setup with a pacey winger, although much will depend on the authorities and their decision on the Ukranian.
Chelsea are waiting on Mykhailo Mudryk decision
While the report states Chelsea could be waiting on the final decision on the Ukranian’s immediate future, the club could still sanction a loan deal for the winger. The Blues have tied down Mudryk on a long-term deal as they believe in his talents for the future.
Hence, should Bayer Leverkusen make their interest known in the future, they might only get the chance to bring the winger on a loan deal. However, there are chances of him being sold permanently, for which the 24-year-old Chelsea misfit will need to be cleared of all the charges, something the Blues might hope is the case.
