Mudryk Preferred Arsenal Before Chelsea Move, Shakhtar Director Says

Shakhtar Donetsk’s director of football, Darijo Srna, says Mykhailo Mudryk initially preferred a move to Arsenal after speaking with Mikel Arteta in January 2023. However, Srna said Chelsea made a stronger financial offer for the Ukrainian winger. Shakhtar accepted Chelsea’s proposal, leaving Mudryk to decide whether to join the Blues or remain at the club. Chelsea completed the transfer in a deal worth up to £88 million, including performance-related add-ons. The revelation has reopened discussion among Arsenal and Chelsea supporters over how the transfer unfolded.
