According to reports by Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich explored the option of securing the services of the Chelsea winger on loan during the January transfer window, prompted by Kingsley Coman’s knee injury. However, Chelsea thwarted Bayern’s efforts to secure the player.

Chelsea was adamant about retaining the Ukraine international, for whom they splashed out a staggering £89 million ($112m) when they signed him from Shakhtar Donetsk just a year ago. Mudryk’s performances since joining Chelsea have been underwhelming, with only four goals to his name in 44 appearances across all competitions. He has struggled to secure a regular spot in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting lineup.

Following their unsuccessful pursuit of the 23-year-old, Bayern Munich opted to bring in Bryan Zaragoza from Granada. Initially, Bayern had announced Zaragoza’s signing for the 2024-25 season in December, but they expedited his arrival by six months.

Mudryk, who last found the net for Chelsea on December 27 against Crystal Palace, will be hoping for more playing time when Chelsea faces reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on Saturday.
