Crystal Palace have reportedly approached Chelsea over the possibility of signing Mykhailo Mudryk, and it has been made clear what form a transfer would take and why it is seen as advantageous for all sides.
When Mudryk was signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in the winter of 2023, his initial cost was £62 million, which increased to £89 million with add-ons.
At the time, Chelsea held off fierce opposition from Arsenal, but their resilience in defeating the Gunners hasn’t paid off yet.
In 72 games for the Blues, Mudryk has only managed to score nine goals and dish out nine assists. As a result, he has fallen to the bottom of the hierarchy. As Enzo Maresca now favors players like Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, and Noni Madueke.
According to Football Transfers as cited by Team Talk, Mudryk may be heading within London during the January transfer window.
According to the report, Premier League strugglers Crystal Palace, who are presently placed 18th, “have approached Chelsea” about loaning Mudryk.
The only team in the league with less goals than Palace (eight) this season are Southampton, with seven.
Given Oliver Glasner’s team’s obvious lack of offensive spark, Mudryk’s arrival and fast pace are seen as potentially “transformative” additions for the Eagles.

Chelsea would also gain from a loan stint since it would provide Mudryk with the consistent playing time he needs to reignite his career.
Another benefit is that Mudryk would stay in England and be given chances to improve his abilities in England’s top division.
