Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has confirmed that the club will not rush into a final decision regarding Mykhailo Mudryk’s immediate future at Stamford Bridge. The Ukrainian international is expected to depart on loan before the summer transfer window slams shut, with several Premier League and European clubs monitoring his situation.
Chelsea have officially rejected an initial season-long loan proposal from Leeds United for Mykhailo Mudryk, as the Ukrainian seeks regular playing time following his lengthy suspension. While the opening bid fell well short of expectations, talks are ongoing, and Mudryk remains highly interested in finalising a move to Elland Road to rebuild his match fitness this season.
Coventry boss Frank Lampard is reportedly plotting an ambitious raid on his former club Chelsea as the Sky Blues prepare for life back in the Premier League. After previously identifying Mykhailo Mudryk as a transfer target, the Stamford Bridge legend has now set his sights on highly-rated defender Josh Acheampong for the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
Mykhailo Mudryk has reportedly informed Chelsea of his preferred destination as the club prepares to sanction a temporary departure for the winger this summer. The Ukrainian international has recently returned to the fold following a lengthy absence and is eager to prove his worth during the 2026-27 campaign.
After a raft of new arrivals, the Blues and their new manager have plenty of work to do in what remains of the transfer window to cut down their bloated squad, with plenty of big-name players facing an uncertain future.
Xabi Alonso has confirmed Mykhailo Mudryk could feature against Juventus in Hong Kong after his four-year doping ban was rescinded. The winger rejoined the Chelsea squad on Tuesday, receiving a massive reception from local fans. Despite the Ukrainian returning to group training, his long-term future remains uncertain as three Premier League clubs circle.

Chelsea are strongly considering sending Mykhailo Mudryk on loan to sister club Strasbourg as he returns from a long anti-doping suspension. The Blues want the Ukrainian winger to rebuild his fitness and confidence in France rather than immediately throwing him into Xabi Alonso's starting plans.
Frank Lampard is reportedly plotting an ambitious move to bring Mykhailo Mudryk to Coventry City as he prepares for life back in the Premier League. The Chelsea legend is keen to provide the Ukrainian winger with a fresh start following the resolution of a lengthy anti-doping saga that kept him off the pitch for nearly two years.
