In an official statement on their website, Akhmetov wrote: ‘FC Shakhtar has signed a final agreement with Chelsea FC and thus Ukrainian footballer Mykhaylo Mudryk will continue his career with the Blues in the strongest national championship, the English Premier League.

‘First and foremost, I want to thank the entire civilised world for helping Ukraine. Today we are able to talk about Ukrainian football thanks to the Ukrainian army, the Ukrainian people, and the tremendous support of the entire civilised world. Only by joining efforts we will defeat the evil that has come to our homes.

‘I have never made it a secret that my dream is to win European trophies. This means that players like Mudryk should be invited to our club, to our Ukrainian championship, and we should win European trophies with such players, rather than root for them, even when they play in the world’s top clubs.

‘Unfortunately, it is impossible now, as Ukraine is fighting the horrendous and unjust war waged against us by the Russian Federation. But I am confident that we will win. And we will play a friendly against Chelsea at Donbass Arena in a Ukrainian Donetsk.’

Shakhtar have not played at the stadium since 2014 due to the Donbass war. Since the club was forced to depart the stadium, it has remained unused and closed to the public. Mudryk was unveiled at Stamford Bridge while clutching a Ukrainian flag, less than a year after Roman Abramovich’s rule at the club ended in February 2022, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Following UK government penalties, Abramovich revealed his decision to sell the club he had controlled since 2003 the following month, resulting in the takeover by Todd Boehly and Clearelake Capital and a slew of big-money additions since.
