Undoubtedly one of the next big stars of European football and beyond, is expected to be the Ukrainian winger of Shakhtar Donetsk, Mykhailo Mudryk. The 21-year-old, left winger impresses with his performances in the UEFA Champions League and not a few teams have shown interest in acquiring him. But for the time being, Shakhtar's administration is not giving him away, while it has made it clear that it is not discussing with an amount less than 100 million euros.
There is no doubt that Mudryk is one of the faces that will concern the football public in the coming years, as he combines technical training, good dribbling and executive acumen.
In fact, against Celtic in the middle of the week, he showed his class by scoring an amazing goal. This season he has a total of 3 goals and 2 assists in five Champions League games, as well as 3 goals and 5 assists in his country's league.
His exploits have indeed alerted several European clubs to snap him up as early as now, with Manchester City and Arsenal among those interested.
But the sporting director of the "orange team" Carlo Nicolini first made it clear that Shakhtar is not going to give the footballer for less than 100 million euros, evaluating him higher than the Brazilian, also a winger, Anthony (of Ajax) who was acquired by Manchester United in the summer of 2022 for the same amount.
"The spotlight is on him but the Italians always come after. Now it's easy to notice him but he could have done it earlier. The Italians bring low offers, we don't even sit down to negotiate. There are several suitors from England, there is a Spanish team, a French team, but we need the right amount to let him go".
Along with Mbappe, Vinicius and Leao, Mudryk is the strongest player in his position," the Ukrainian Shakhtar player emphasized, adding: "Arsenal and Manchester City are two of the teams who have shown an interest in the player but there are other teams who have the money to get him. Is €40 million enough to buy him?.
We are not talking about such sums. Even if a proposal of 50 million euros comes, we will not call the president to tell him.
We rate Mundryk higher than United's Anthony, who cost them €100 million. We are not obligated to sell.
We don't want to chase numbers that are not realistic but in this team he is the most influential. If you want to get certain players who make the difference in the top clubs, you need to pay the right money," Nicolini concluded.
