Леоненко: «Мудрик разрушил трансферный рынок Украины»
Leonenko: “Mudryk has destroyed the Ukrainian transfer market”
The departure of Mykhailo Mudryk to Chelsea has had a major impact on the Ukrainian transfer market, according to former Dynamo Kyiv president Ihor Surkis.
Surkis believes that Mudryk's move to the Premier League has set a new benchmark for Ukrainian players, and that other clubs will now be reluctant to pay such high fees for players from Ukraine.
“Mudryk's transfer has destroyed the Ukrainian transfer market,” Surkis told Sport Arena.
“Now, no one will pay such money for Ukrainian players. I think that in the summer we will see a lot of players leaving Ukraine for free.”
Surkis' comments come after Mudryk joined Chelsea for a fee of £88 million in January.
The transfer was a record for a Ukrainian player, and it has led to speculation that other Ukrainian players could now be sold for similar fees.
However, Surkis believes that this is unlikely, as other clubs will be wary of paying such high fees for players from Ukraine.
“I think that other clubs will now be reluctant to pay such high fees for Ukrainian players,” Surkis said.
“They will know that they can get similar players from other countries for cheaper.”
Surkis' comments are a reminder of the challenges facing Ukrainian football.
The country has been ravaged by war in recent years, and this has had a major impact on the development of football in the country.
The departure of Mudryk is a further blow to Ukrainian football, and it remains to be seen how the country will recover from this loss.
In addition to Surkis' comments, other experts have also weighed in on the impact of Mudryk's transfer on the Ukrainian transfer market.
Football agent Vitaliy Danilov believes that Mudryk's move to Chelsea will have a positive impact on the Ukrainian transfer market in the long term.
“Mudryk's transfer is a sign that Ukrainian players are now being recognized as some of the best in the world,” Danilov said.
“This will make it easier for other Ukrainian players to find clubs in Europe, and it will also help to increase the value of Ukrainian players in the transfer market.”
However, other experts are more cautious about the impact of Mudryk's transfer on the Ukrainian transfer market.
Football journalist Artem Frankov believes that Mudryk's move to Chelsea could set a dangerous precedent for the Ukrainian transfer market.
“I'm worried that Mudryk's transfer could lead to a situation where Ukrainian clubs are forced to sell their best players for lower fees,” Frankov said.
“This would be a disaster for Ukrainian football, and it could make it difficult for the country to compete at the international level.”
Only time will tell what the long-term impact of Mudryk's transfer to Chelsea will be on the Ukrainian transfer market.
However, it is clear that the transfer has been a major talking point in Ukraine, and it has raised important questions about the future of Ukrainian football.
