The 23-year-old joined the Blues in a £90million deal from Shakhtar Donetsk in last season’s January transfer window.
Mudryk has failed to find his feet at Stamford Bridge, though, netting just three times in 44 Premier League outings so far.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, the Ukraine international was being considered by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who recently found themselves with an injury crisis in attack.
The report adds that Thomas Tuchel’s side made a last-ditch bid to lure the forward to Bavaria but Chelsea barely entertained the idea.
“Before bringing in Bryan Zaragoza, Bayern, they asked about the possibility of signing Mykhaylo Mudryk from Chelsea,” Romano said on his Here We Go Podcast.
“He is a player appreciated by Bayern and they feel in this moment he is not playing on a regular basis and so they tried.
“But from Chelsea, there was not even a discussion and in hours Bayern knew it was not possible to discuss for Mudryk.”
After the failed attempts to sign Mudryk, Bayern changed the terms of Bryan Zaragoza’s transfer from Granada.
The winger was initially due to join for the start of the 2024/25 season, but Bayern brought his arrival forward after an injury to Kingsley Coman.
Bayern also signed Eric Dier from Spurs on-loan, who linked-up with former Tottenham teammate Harry Kane at the Allianz Arena, and ex-Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey.
Mudryk was an unused substitute as Chelsea defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park on Monday night.
Two goals from Conor Gallagher and Enzo Fernandez secured the victory for Mauricio Pochettino‘s side, as they returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
