The authoritative publication does not understand why Chelsea paid so much money to Shakhtar Donetsk.
British publication Goal misunderstood Chelsea’s motives when buying Mikhail Mudrik. Journalists have developed their own version of the list of the most failed transfers of the 2022/2023 season, and the Ukrainian winger took a high seventh place on it.
In total, 21 players are included in the anti-rating. Unfavorably at the top of the list is French Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba.
“While Mudryk is not expected to start his Premier League career at 100 mph, Chelsea are hoping for at least one goal by spending almost £90m on the Ukraine international. It will be a baptism of fire for the striker from when he came to England.
There have been problems off the field, Mudrik has been criticized for his use of social media. On the field, everything was just as disappointing. He started several matches from the beginning and came off the bench three times without a result in the championship. The competition for a place in the Chelsea squad next season could not be more fierce, and now Mudryk looks like one of the most embarrassing overpayments in the history of football.
