As for Arsenal, in the end it was Mudrik's decision because Chelsea paid what we wanted. We made a deal with Chelsea and he said: "Yes, I want to go to Chelsea." Don't worry about Mudrick, you will still enjoy watching him play. Just like in the first match against Liverpool. It was only 35 percent of Mudrik. Mikhail is a man who thinks only about soccer. He goes to bed with the ball and wakes up with the ball, it's the key to his success.
I was very sad when he decided to go to Chelsea. I told him: "Mikhail, you can stay with us a little longer, we need you," and he said: "No, Dario, it's time to go. We respect that", the Metro newspaper quotes Srna as saying.
