Chelsea Reject Leeds' Second Loan Bid For Mudryk

Last Updated : 25-Aug-2026 by Kevin Markey

Chelsea have reportedly turned down Leeds' latest loan offer for the 25-year-old Ukrainian winger after talks stalled over guarantees for playing time.

With Mykhaylo Mudryk's contract running until 2031, the club now favors Strasbourg, their sister team under BlueCo, as a better fit for consistent action.

Leeds admires his skills and low-risk potential, and the player remains open to Elland Road, but Chelsea is prioritizing options that rebuild his momentum while other Premier League and European clubs show interest.
