Chelsea are set to offload more star names from their bloated squad in the January transfer window and Ukraine international Mykhailo Mudryk could lead the way.
The Blues have completed a series of deals in the final days of the summer market as they continue to try to meet their Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) target this season.
Raheem Sterling has been loaned to Arsenal for a season, while Conor Gallagher has joined Atletico Madrid and Romelu Lukaku has joined Napoli.
However, further moves are planned for the start of 2025 as Enzo Maresca looks to reduce the size of his squad for the second half of the campaign.
According to reports from Teamtalk.comMudryk is on a shortlist of players available for sale, having struggled for consistency since his £88.5 million ($117.5 million) move from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2022.
Mydruk has scored just five Premier League goals in his first two seasons at Stamford Bridge and does not appear to be a key part of Maresca’s future plans.
Club sources say a January exit is “very possible”, with Bayern Munich potentially open to renewing his loan interest from 2024, alongside links with Marseille.
Defensive trio Axel Disasi, Benoit Badiashile and Ben Chilwell could also be transferred in the mid-season market as Chelsea look to mirror the £170 million ($225 million) in player sales they generated this summer.
