Top ten €100m Premier League transfers to come after Mudryk's arrival at Chelsea

Mykahylo Mudryk could cost Chelsea €100m if any Ballon d'Or extensions or other such nonsense are done in his next eight and a half years at Stamford Bridge. But who will be the Premier League's next nine-figure figure?

We've ranked these ten players based on their chances of being the next big buy. They may not all go to Chelsea.

10) Florian Wirtz (Bayer Leverkusen)Man Utd were quite closely linked with the teenager a year ago when Ralf Rangnick was looking to raid Germany for young talent, but it's all gone a little quiet since Wirtz has signed a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2027.

Bayern Munich is hovering because he's good and German and doesn't play for Bayern Munich, but Leverkusen have apparently put a €150m price tag on him, which will at least get the attention of Chelsea, who adopted the transfer mantra that the more a club values ​​a player, the more they should try to sign him.

9) Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich) The German World Cup star was stolen from Southampton academy for nothing by Chelsea, as is their custom, then let go for next to nothing to become the one of the most valuable footballers in the world, as is also their habit. Musiala has the most goals (9) and assists (8) for Bayern Munich this season, with manager Julien Nagelsmann believing the 'snake legs' have plenty of room to improve despite already being " world class".

8) Rafael Leao (AC Milan)Leao has rebuffed a number of contract extension offers from AC Milan, and club director Paolo Maldini's assertion that the winger's desire to stay at San Siro "seems to be there" isn't all that convincing. The 23-year-old is in an excellent negotiating position with 18 months remaining on his current contract and very big offers elsewhere in the pipeline.

Chelsea are said to have had a €70m bid turned down this summer and will be handed a private jet, a blank check and Rohypnol after Leao made the fatal mistake last month of revealing 'J 'love Arsenal'.

7) Josko Gvardiol (RB Leipzig) Christopher Vivell, Chelsea's new technical director, reportedly 'knocked on the door' to get Gvardiol in January, to which RB Leipzig said no, as they did this summer. But it is believed the German club are ready to capitalize on the 20-year-old - who has been excellent for Croatia in Qatar - when the summer transfer window approaches.

Madrid have of course been linked, as have Tottenham, who would have to sell Harry Kane, then spend all that fee and more – in a move that would double their transfer record – to sign a player who is > good, but unlikely to score 30 goals per season.

6) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli) "He will reach €100m (£86.7m) for sure," Kvaratskhelia's agent said in November as his client drew admiring glances through his performances in the Champions League for Napoli. It would be a 900% upside in a year for the Serie A side if they sold him this summer.

The 21-year-old has nine goals and 12 assists in 20 games this season and is one of the happiest footballers to watch. Arsenal apparently put him on their shortlist after Chelsea nabbed Mudryk, and the 'Georgian Messi' has just as much chance of becoming a true superstar as the Ukrainian.

5) Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund) Every club wants him and unfortunately for the Premier League, every club includes Real Madrid, who are reportedly closing in on a €270m deal for the England international. That would rule out Liverpool's self-proclaimed penny-pinchers, despite the best efforts of Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who whispered sweet nothings in Bellingham's ear throughout their time in Qatar together.

At this price, Manchester City will offer more viable competition to Madrid, as will Chelsea, who clearly have no transfer limits and no shame when it comes to dragging kicking footballers. foot and shout at Stamford Bridge.

4) Joao Felix (Atletico Madrid) Atletico Madrid have bent Chelsea on a barrel to secure a £9m loan for six months from Felix, plus his salary, with no option to buy included. But it is claimed that Chelsea are confident they can sign the Portugal international permanently at the end of the season if he so wishes.

Reports suggest Atletico were ready to accept deals with a £70million option to buy, but given they are dealing with a club who have comfortably spent more money than any other in ...
