“Sport1”: Bayer 04 are courting Shakhtar attacker Mudryk

Brentford is also bidding

Left winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who was only promoted to the full-time team from Shakhtar Donetsk last summer, has had eleven goals in 19 competitive games this season. A rate that, according to information from the portal, “sports1“ brought Bayer 04 Leverkusen onto the scene alongside the English first division side FC Brentford. Accordingly, the “Werkself” is considering the 21-year-old as a potential successor for the possible departures of Moussa Diaby (22; contract until 2025) and Paulinho (21; until 2023).

The latter had recently left his future in Leverkusen open, but Diaby is said to be the focus of several Premier League clubs. Mudryk can be used flexibly on the offensive flanks and can also play in the centre. His contract in Donetsk is dated until 2026, but according to the report, due to the current political situation and Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the offensive power is forcing a departure. Brentford FC vied for the attacker’s services last winter and are said to have thrown their hat in the ring again. Clubs from Serie A and LaLiga would also have Mudryk on the list.

Bayer 04 are courting Mykhaylo Mudryk from Ukraine: Will the transfer be a sticking point?

In the end, the decisive factor in the race for the Ukrainian is likely to be the transfer fee. Transfermarkt can confirm “Sport1” information, according to which Brentford FC’s renewed offer amounts to 20 million euros. A move of this magnitude at Bayer 04 would put Mudryk among the most expensive transfers in the club’s history. The “Werkself” only paid more money for five professionals.

The fact that a transfer of the Ukrainian national player could be realized under these conditions is also considered unlikely in the TM rumor mill. For example, the user “Errand Bursche” writes that the transfer fee of 20 million euros seems “a bit high”.
