Chelsea ‘are paying Mykhailo Mudryk LESS than Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan, at £97,000 a week’ and only beat Arsenal ‘by £10,000’ under Todd Boehly’s new payroll plans
Chelsea are paying newcomer Mykhailo Mudryk £88m less than Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to reports.
The Blues seized on Premier League rivals Arsenal’s offer to sign the Ukrainian winger from Shakhtar Donetsk, with his arrival confirmed on Friday and the player parading across Stamford Bridge while playing Crystal Palace.
But as he reports Athleticthe financial package offered by Chelsea was not a major factor in the move: Mudryk paid £97,000 per week, just £10,000 more per week than Arsenal’s offer, and less than Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek.
Chelsea are paying their £88m new arrival Mykhailo Mudryk (pictured) less than Callum Hudson-Odoi on loan and peripheral midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, according to reports.
Hudson-Odoi, sent to German Bayer Leverkusen this season, earns £120,000 a week
And midfielder Loftus-Cheek, who hasn’t played since Nov. 6, earns £150,000 a week.
In July 2019, central midfielder Loftus-Cheek signed a new five-year contract for £150,000 a week, but has not played since 6 November.
While the winger Hudson-Odoi also signed a five-year deal worth £120,000 a week two months later, but fell out of favor under Graham Potter’s predecessor Thomas Tuchel and was sent on a season-long loan to Bayer Leverkusen in August. .
The informed decision to offer Mudryk a relatively low salary, though still slightly higher than Arsenal’s salary offer, is said to be a long-term strategy to lower new owner Todd Boehly’s salary bill.
Mudryk’s relatively small £97,000 a week, compared to his teammates, is said to be part of owner Todd Boehly’s (above) long-term efforts to reduce the club’s massive wage bill.
Even though Raheem Sterling, who joined this summer under Boehly’s tenure, was paid three times Mudryk’s and Reece James’ pay increased to £250,000 a week, the American tycoon generally hopes to avoid the kind of deals. awarded to Loftus-Cheek and Hudson-Odoi after just a handful of first-team appearances.
Many assumed that Chelsea, who have spent around £400m since Boehly took over in June, must have offered a significantly better financial package to entice Mudryk to join Arsenal’s London rivals, who sit nine places and 19 points behind the Gunners.
But that doesn’t appear to be the case and in fact the transfer fee of £61.6m with the rest in add-ons was the same as Arsenal’s offer, although Chelsea add-ons are believed to be more achievable and paid for. faster.
