The agent explained why the transfer fee of Mudrik was 100 million euros

Ukrainian football agent Nikita Shvets explained why the amount of the transfer of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Mykhailo Mudrik to Chelsea was 100 million euros, while a year ago the cost of this player was much less.

“A year ago, Mudryk was just starting to play in the first team of Shakhtar and was not a star. Rather, he would be an undeniable talent with a unique set of qualities, but without any special accomplishments. During the year, Mikhail has done a tremendous job and at the same time has shown that he can demonstrate class not only in the domestic championship, but also in games at the international level, proving this by playing against serious European clubs in summer friendly matches and the Champions League.

It became obvious that Mudryk is not just a promising football player, he is a player who can give results at a certain level here and now. And his age, mentality and diligence give reason to think that he still has a decent space for growth. All this, together with the unique speed, dribbling and focus on the goal has significantly increased its attractiveness in the market, as well as its value.

Well, it is worth noting the factor of a good moment and coincidence. Today, Chelsea has excellent financial opportunities, the club is ready to invest in players of interest to it, amounts that may be higher than the market ones. In fact, perhaps they overpaid, but they simply had such an opportunity, and the main thing is that no one can predict what the price will be for Mikhail in a year or two, perhaps the current amount will seem quite adequate in the future. However, as well as vice versa,” Shvets said.
