Liverpool have been linked to a surprising potential move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
The 23-year-old Ukrainian international has struggled to meet expectations since arriving at Stamford Bridge and has faced criticism for his performances.
A fresh start could benefit Mudryk, and a move away from Chelsea might be ideal. Reports suggest Liverpool could offer him an opportunity to leave in the near future.
According to Fichajes, Liverpool are monitoring players to potentially replace Mohamed Salah, with Mudryk on their radar.
The report claims Liverpool might be willing to negotiate a deal for around €35 million, which could rise to €50 million depending on the terms. Whether both clubs can agree remains to be seen.
Given Mudryk’s underwhelming record at Chelsea, with just seven goals in 64 appearances, this move would be surprising.
Salah has been world-class for Liverpool, and replacing him with a struggling player from Chelsea seems illogical for the Reds. The transfer would likely be unpopular with fans.
Chelsea, who paid €100 million for Mudryk, may be ready to accept a significant loss if they sell him, and recouping €50 million might be a reasonable outcome. The funds could then be reinvested into their squad.
As the situation unfolds, it’s clear Liverpool will need to find an adequate replacement for Salah, and it’s doubtful that Mudryk could fill such a significant void.
