Arsenal and Chelsea could have FIFA to blame if they miss Mykhaylo Mudryk’s landing from Shakhtar Donetsk. The Premier League giants have both attempted to strike a deal with the Ukrainian club for their prized asset.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Mudryk since last summer. And they appeared to be the first to sign the ace after apparently presenting offers of 52 million and 62 million. But both of those offers were rejected, despite the player illustrating his desire to move to Emirates Stadium by posting a series of transfer hints on his Instagram page.

Chelsea are now said to be keen to land Mudryk and are looking to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season. The Blues have been disappointed in front of goal this season and have fallen to 10th in the Premier League table after scoring just 20 goals in 17 top-flight games.

Shakhtar are said to be holding out for a whopping 88m in exchange for Mudryk. And, according to the Independent, the reason Shakhtar refuse to compromise on transfer fees is because of how much money they lost in potential sales last year when FIFA ruled that foreign players could leave Ukrainian clubs for free after the country was attacked by Russia.

At the same time, they logged into the world league forum. What is this organization responsible for? It’s ridiculous. His neglect of the decision-making process. They should consult with all parties, especially Ukrainian clubs. All European organizations support Ukraine. How is it possible to behave like this?

If you robbed our players according to your rule, you (should) say, okay, in this case you have war, a difficult situation, (so) you don’t need to pay these debts to the clubs. On the one hand, they did nothing. You have to pay the clubs up to 50 million in debt. At another, they stole our players. What should we do? They just killed us. Nobody paid attention, nobody asked us.

This situation gave more power to the agents and makes them much richer than before. I heard from FIFA that they are trying to set up some sort of security for foreign players. Long after the war started, all foreign players were secured within a week. Nobody pushed foreign players to come back. I negotiated with each of them, they could be loaned and sold, all were happy. Even the agents were happy. But FIFA penetrated our financial ecosystem and destroyed everything.
