JAKARTA - Chelsea will release winger Mykhaylo Mudryk. Mudryk's performance has not improved since being recruited 13 months ago.

Mudryk's high price made the Ukrainian national team player Chelsea's new focus. Moreover, Chelsea beat Arsenal to win Mudryk by disbursing 88 million pounds or approximately 1.7 trillion rupiah.

Mudryk had given hope after appearing impressive in his debut against Liverpool. However, he then did not fulfill the expectations. The appearance of this 23-year-old player has not improved. In fact, Mudryk was once called a brainless player.

The player who was bought from Shakhtar Donetsk has indeed played 42 times in various competitions. This season, he has been fielded 13 times as a substitute. Mudryk was only able to score four goals and make five assists.

Finally, Mudryk appeared as a substitute in the match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. His corner was met with Thiago Silva's header who broke into the Wolves goal. However, Chelsea lost 2-4 in that match.

In the next three matches against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, and Manchester City, he was not even played. Ironically, Chelsea was able to reap satisfactory results.

Mudryk is also threatened with not being fielded in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool this weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino's manager prefers Cole Palmer, Raheem Sterling, and Noni Madueke in the forward sector. This makes Mudryk not get a place in the first team.

According to Football Insider, Pochettino has run out of patience and has no objection if the club releases Mudryk. Previously, the former Tottenham Hotspur manager always gave Mudryk the opportunity. In fact, he asked to be patient with Mudryk.

However, Pochettino finally judged Mudryk 'not having the brain of football' and it was difficult to achieve success. Meanwhile, Chelsea legend Craig Burley called Mudryk a player who couldn't kick the ball.

However, Chelsea is a bit difficult to sell Mudryk because the price and salary are expensive. Meanwhile, his contract is still long and only expires in 2031.

At high prices, the most midfielder club only loaned Mudryk. Bayern Munich is one of the clubs planning to borrow the player.
