FC Barcelona have reportedly set their sights on Mykhailo Mudryk, the Ukrainian winger from Chelsea, to boost their attack. Relegated to the background by coach Enzo Maresca, who prefers recruits like Pedro Neto and Jadon Sancho, Mudryk’s departure from the London club seems more and more imminent. This has opened the door to several interested clubs, including the Blaugrana, who see him as a prime alternative if the transfer of Nico Williams does not materialize.
Arriving at Chelsea with high expectations in January 2023, Mudryk failed to justify the significant investment from the club, who beat Arsenal for his signature. Although he showed flashes of talent, his offensive output remained below expectations, and the arrival of new recruits reduced his playing time. Against this backdrop, his future at Chelsea is increasingly uncertain.
As FC Barcelona prepare for the upcoming winter transfer window, Mudryk has emerged as an attractive option to strengthen the right flank of the attack, especially in a playing system where he could provide valuable imbalance. Other clubs, such as Bayern Munich and Olympique Marseille, are also monitoring the Ukrainian’s situation, but Barca could try to negotiate a loan, with the permanent transfer unlikely due to the initial amount invested by Chelsea.
