Shakhtar midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk will continue his career in one of the strongest clubs of the English Premier League – London-based Chelsea.

The clubs agreed upon all transfer details: Shakhtar will receive EUR 70 million for the player and another EUR 30 million is envisaged as a bonus payment.

Rinat Akhmetov, FC Shakhtar president:
– I have mixed feelings: in order to win European trophies, I should invite such footballers as Mudryk to our club, to our Ukrainian league and not send them to the best championships and the best clubs in the world. However, I am sure that Mykhailo will win respect, sympathy and love of all connoisseurs of world football with his speed, his technique, his impressive and beautiful play.
