Now that Mykhaylo Mudryk has been unveiled as a Chelsea player, one of this winter’s great transfer sagas comes to its unexpected end. But will that stop Chelsea under Todd Boehly spending like Viv Nicholson? The answer is very probably not.
An offer of £26.5m for PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke is still on the table, and spending what could reach a €100m fee on Mudryk has not prevented interest in signing Enzo Fernández from Benfica or Moises Caicedo from Brighton, even if both deals will be difficult to pull off. Raheem Sterling, who cost almost £50m last summer but has struggled since may be shipped out. As yet, no takers are forthcoming.
