Chelsea reject Leeds United’s initial proposal to take winger Mykhailo Mudryk on loan for the season, and both clubs continue discussions, according to multiple reports. The Athletic and BBC Sport both state that the offer is turned down at the first stage rather than immediately closing the possibility of a deal.
Mudryk, an Ukraine international, has not played for Chelsea since November 2024. The reporting indicates Chelsea’s stance involves considering Leeds’ approach rather than accepting it outright, suggesting negotiations are ongoing over terms such as duration and the structure of the loan.
While the sources agree on the rejection of an initial bid and the fact that talks remain active, they differ in emphasis: BBC Sport focuses on the fact that an initial season-long offer is rejected, while The Athletic places the update in the broader context of continued talks and Chelsea’s lack of recent involvement with the player.
