💥Shakhtar to Sue UAF Over Mudryk Doping Case. 

According to Ukrainian journalist Igor Burbas, Mykhailo Mudryk’s former club, Shakhtar Donetsk, is preparing a lawsuit against the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF) if it is confirmed that the player received banned substances while in the national team camp.

The club argues that due to a potential suspension, they could lose up to €30 million in performance-related bonuses from Chelsea.

The report also states that the president of the UAF, Andriy Shevchenko, may be indirectly involved in the case of Mudryk allegedly using a substance containing meldonium.

This information was reported by Ua-football.com, citing its own sources.

According to Burbas, it was likely Shevchenko who gave the green light for Mudryk to receive stem cell injections:

"Most likely, Shevchenko authorized the stem cell injections for Mudryk, since Andriy Mykolayovych uses them himself for anti-aging purposes," Burbas said.

According to Burbas, Mudryk suffered from ailments during the national team's training camp that prevented him from playing at full capacity.

Mudryk has not played for Chelsea since the end of November last year.

The winger has not played for Chelsea since the end of November last year and is currently awaiting the outcome of his case.

Mudryk is said to have passed a lie detector test and has consistently maintained his innocence throughout the situation.

The Ukrainian international faces a four-year ban.

Mudryk is currently excluded from training at Chelsea's Cobham training center, but the club is said to have provided him with a fitness program.

Chelsea charged with 74 alleged breaches of FA regulations over 13-year period

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6618970/2025/09/11/Chelsea-charges-agents-fa/

The Football Association (FA) has charged Chelsea with 74 alleged breaches of its regulations between 2009 and 2022.

The charges centre on a period of time when the club was under the ownership of Roman Abramovich and “primarily relate to events that occurred between the 2010-11 to 2015-16 playing seasons”, the FA said.

Abramovich was disqualified as a director of Chelsea by the Premier League in March 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the previous month. That came after the UK government froze the Russian billionaire’s assets due to his “close ties with the Kremlin”.

In May of that year, Chelsea’s current ownership of the investor consortium BlueCo led by Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital bought the club.

The alleged breaches are in relation to the governing body’s agent regulations, regulations on working with intermediaries, and third party investment in players regulations.

An FA statement on Thursday read: “The Football Association has today charged Chelsea FC with breaches of Regulations J1 and C2 of the FA Football Agents Regulations, Regulations A2 and A3 of the FA Regulations on Working with Intermediaries, and Regulations A1 and B3 of the FA Third Party Investment in Player Regulations.

“In total, 74 charges have been brought against Chelsea FC.

“The conduct that is the subject of the charges range from 2009 to 2022 and primarily relates to events that occurred between the 2010-11 to 2015-16 playing seasons.”

The club have until September 19 to respond with scope for that deadline to be extended given the extent of the charges.

Chelsea insist the charges relate to the Abramovich era only. The FA refused to clarify when asked to do so by The Athletic.

The club said on Thursday that they were “pleased” that the issue “self-reported by the club is now reaching a conclusion”.

“During a thorough due diligence process prior to completion of the purchase, the (current) ownership group became aware of potentially incomplete financial reporting concerning historical transactions and other potential breaches of FA rules,” the statement continued. “Immediately upon the completion of the purchase, the club self-reported these matters to all relevant regulators, including The FA.”

Chelsea said they had “demonstrated unprecedented transparency during this process, including by giving comprehensive access to the club’s files and historical data”.

The club added: “We will continue working collaboratively with the FA to conclude this matter as swiftly as possible. We wish to place on record our gratitude to the FA for their engagement with the club on this complex case, the focus of which has been on matters that took place over a decade ago.”

Matt Law says the club feel like it’ll just be a fine rather than anything serious.

If they punish the current players on the pitch or even the ownership who weren’t even here back then it’ll be a complete disgrace.

EXCL: Chelsea set sights on U23 attacking trio after missing out on Xavi Simons

Chelsea will make an attacking midfielder a priority for upcoming transfer windows.

https://thedailybriefing.io/p/excl-Chelsea-set-sights-on-u23-attacking

 

Chelsea are set to make an attacking midfielder a priority in the transfer market in the coming year after missing out on Xavi Simons in the summer.

The Blues had a busy summer bringing in exciting talents such as Jamie Gittens, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato and Alejandro Garnacho, but their recruitment team continues to be busy assessing future targets.

Sources with a close understanding of Chelsea's plans have informed CaughtOffside that the west London giants will now focus on Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers as one of their top targets for January or next summer, as well as two other top young talents aged 23 and under…

Chelsea's interest in signing Rogers is no secret, with the England international having been on their radar during the summer, while other top clubs have also been impressed by his form for Villa.

Sources have also informed CaughtOffside that Juventus' Kenan Yildiz is on Chelsea's radar, along with Lyon's Malick Fofana.

Although Tottenham ended up winning the race for Xavi Simons, Chelsea were also really keen on bringing him in as well as Garnacho late on in the window.

In the end, only Garnacho was possible, but CFC will set aside funds for at least one more top attacking midfield player in the months ahead.

Rogers is well liked by Chelsea's recruitment team, but Yildiz and Fofana are two other names to watch if a deal proves too expensive or complicated to get done.

Villa are understandably keen to hold on to Rogers, but could also be in a strong position to invite a bidding war as other clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City could get involved.

Chelsea missed out on Xavi Simons and Ethan Nwaneri

Chelsea also notably had a genuine and concrete interest in Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri during the summer.

In the end, Nwaneri ended up signing a new contract with the Gunners, but Charles Watts has previously told us about the Blues' interest.

"Arsenal were always quite calm about Nwaneri’s situation, but with just a year remaining of his old deal it was an issue that needed resolving," Watts said of Chelsea's interest in Nwaneri.

"Chelsea were interested, just as they were before Nwaneri signed his first professional contract with the club in March, 2024."

He added: "While there may have been strong interest, Nwaneri’s preference was always to stay at Arsenal and the club were always confident he would stay."

Chelsea join Liverpool in race for Ecuadorian prodigy, 15, as Blues hold talks over £14m-rated defender

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-15088427/Chelsea-Liverpool-Ecuador-prodigy-15-14m-rated.html

Chelsea have held talks over a move for Ecuador defensive prodigy Deinner Ordonez.

The centre back is regarded as the next great talent to emerge from Independiente del Valle who have produced the likes of Moises Caicedo, Kendry Paez and Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie.

Still only 15, Ordonez impressed playing above his age group at the South American U20 Championships earlier this year where he was the youngest player to appear there in over a decade.

His performances have already caught the eye of Liverpool scouts and clubs from Spain and Germany.

Already over 6ft tall, Ordonez is right-footed but is utilised as a left-sided centre back where he is fast earning plaudits for excellent use of the ball and his ability to build play from the back. He is also strong in the air though still to develop physically.

Independiente are willing to strike a deal to sell the youngster, similar to the transfer structured previously for Paez who agreed to leave at 16 but was only eligible for transfer this summer in turning 18.

Ordonez does not turn 18 until October 2027 but there is already talk of Independiente looking for around £14million including add on payments for the teenager.

Chelsea have been determined in their pursuit of global up-and-coming talents and often ruthless in their willingness to beat the likes of Manchester United and Real Madrid to their signatures.

What a random time to announce a new signing 🤣

The club planning ahead in anticipation of a potential transfer ban? If so, expect even more activity in January. Whether that’s more pre-agreements for players to join in the summer or right away. Tbf, a transfer ban might not be the worse thing for us and is much better than a points deduction or other silly sanctions.

Regardless of the FA (and who they have in charge and how they are), it seems that they’d likely be none the wiser if BlueCo hadn’t reported these findings they made. The findings was part of their due diligence before buying the club from Roman…. not that it makes anything difference. Just the usual out roar without knowing the full story. 

BlueCo kept £100m from the amount they bought the club for sitting aside incase of any repercussions from these according to reports. The FA haven’t specified if it is all from before the takeover or not, so who knows what will happen… but yeah will be interesting to see how it all goes.
