After joining the Blues for £88 million in January from Shakhtar Donetsk, Mudryk has had a difficult start to his career. Arsenal had been interested in the youngster for some time before their cross-town rivals stormed in at the last minute.
The Ukrainian only managed two assists in 15 Premier League games as he quickly dropped down the Chelsea team's pecking order and spent the majority of the season on the bench.
It is unknown whether he will be chosen for the competition squad, but he reportedly put his name in to represent his nation at the U21 Euros this summer.
Chelsea, though, is believed to have approved and supported the 22-year-old's choice to make an offer.
For the rainy London team, this summer should be a historic one as they get ready to welcome Mauricio Pochettino to the dugout on July 1, when he officially takes over as manager.
The Argentine is anticipated to lead a squad purge since Todd Boehly's £600 million spending binge over the previous two transfer windows has overstretched the club's ranks.In the Premier League since his arrival, he only completed 655 out of a possible 1,710 minutes, or 38%, so tiredness should be minimal.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, a teammate from the Blues, came under fire for previously refusing to make himself available for England's U21 team despite having already played for the senior team.
'If I conjecture a little bit, I suppose it's about disappointment that he is not recognized for the first team, but at the same time maybe he did not have enough minutes to be nominated for the first team,' said then-boss Thomas Tuchel.
I could see the improvement in getting some playing time and taking the lead for the Under-21s, but he made a different decision. He will deal with it.
Despite playing in the senior team's international matches, including most recently on Monday night in a friendly against Germany, Mudryk is still qualified for the Euros this summer.
With a Joshua Kimmich injury-time penalty tying the game at 3-3 for Germany, Ukraine secured a well-deserved draw.
On Friday and Monday, respectively, North Macedonia and Malta will be the opponents for Serhiy Rebrov's senior team.
