Di Marzio: Arsenal are now undoubtedly leading in the fight for Mudrik, but Shakhtar are a difficult negotiating partner

Well-known Italian journalist Gianluca Li Marzio said that he knows about the possible transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Mikhail Mudrik.

“Mudrik is a really good player. Milan wanted him in the summer in case Rafael Leao left, but he was too expensive for this club.

At the moment, Arsenal are trying to sign Mudrik, because they also know that they are dealing with a very talented football player. But whether this transfer will take place in January, I don't know.

There is no doubt that Arsenal are now in a better position than their competitors to get Mudrik. But Shakhtar is a difficult negotiating partner and asks for Mudrik, probably about 35 million euros, ”DiMarzio is quoted by SoccerNews as saying.
