More and more details appear in the story of the possible transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Mykhailo Mudrik to Arsenal.
Mikhail MudrikWell-known insider Ben Jacobs called the “ceiling” for the “Gunners” in the financial side of a potential deal for the 22-year-old Ukrainian. According to the source, Arsenal will under no circumstances pay more than 70-75 million euros for the transfer of Mudrik.
As a reminder, Shakhtar are seeking to sell their midfielder for 100 million euros. The Londoners, in turn, so far insist on an amount approximately half as much - about 60 million euros, but the Pitmen have so far refused such proposals.
In addition, Jacobs called the negotiations between Arsenal and Shakhtar on Mudrik "atypical", and the Donetsk club itself "difficult" in discussing such a transition. The insider is also convinced that during the negotiations, Shakhtar will use the interest in Mudrik from another London club, Chelsea, as a separate instrument of pressure on Arsenal.
