It became known who initiated the purchase of Mudryk from Chelsea

Chelsea's Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk is still hoping to become an important figure in the Blues' squad.

However, so far, the London coach Enzo Maresca trusts Mudryk to play only in secondary matches, and the media is increasingly reporting on the Ukrainian's possible departure from the club in the January transfer window.

Reportedly, Mudryk's invitation to Chelsea was not the idea of Todd Boley, who is considered the key ideologue of the current personnel changes in the Blues' camp. Another co-owner of Chelsea, 48-year-old American businessman of Iranian descent Behdad Eghbali, insisted on buying the Ukrainian.

Chelsea paid Shakhtar 70 million euros for Mudryk. The Blues guaranteed another €30 million to the Pitmen, subject to the fulfillment of a number of agreed conditions.
