The recent closure of the summer transfer window left Atlético de Madrid with a void to fill on the left wing. The departure of Yannick Carrasco was not adequately addressed, leaving the team in need of a player capable of making an impact in that position. As the winter transfer market approaches, manager Diego Simeone has expressed his desire for the arrival of a new player who can excel on the left flank. While Lino and Riquelme have shown promise, Simeone believes that the team still lacks a more decisive player in that area. In light of their previous dealings with Chelsea, Atlético is now hoping that the London club will consider loaning out Mykhaylo Mudryk to them, following the successful loan of Joao Félix last season.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, who was once one of the most expensive signings in Chelsea’s history, has encountered significant difficulties adapting to his new surroundings. To compound matters, he does not currently feature in the plans of manager Mauricio Pochettino. However, at just 22 years old, Mudryk possesses immense talent that could potentially be reignited in LaLiga under the guidance of Atlético. This move would provide him with an opportunity to revive his career and fulfill his potential.
For Atlético, this transfer would be financially viable as they would only need to cover the loan fee, with a substantial portion of Mudryk’s wages being covered by Chelsea. However, it is important to note that there would be no option to purchase the Ukrainian winger at the end of the loan spell. Mudryk is currently under contract with Chelsea until 2031, and the London club sees him as a part of their future plans. Nonetheless, this season could see Mudryk embark on a new chapter at the Wanda Metropolitano, serving as a timely gift for Atlético.
Atlético de Madrid finds themselves in a position where they urgently require reinforcement on the left wing. With the departure of Yannick Carrasco, the team has been left wanting in terms of a player who can consistently make an impact in that position. Mykhaylo Mudryk, a highly talented winger who has struggled to adapt at Chelsea, presents an opportunity
