Mykhailo Mudryk has a “E” and a capital “F” inked on the sides of each of his hands and says they are all religious tattoos.
As a practicing Christian, the footballer combines the two letters to create a Portuguese word for “faith.”
It seems most appropriate as the object of an astounding £88 million transfer to Chelsea on the longest contract ever given in the Premier League.
When Mudryk, 22, decides to use his right to a Bosman free transfer in 2031, he will be older than 30.
The Kharkiv region’s Krasograd residents’ son is financially secure for the rest of his life.
Nice effort for a young man with fewer than 50 Ukrainian league matches under his belt and little Champions League experience.
What would normally be a regular signing – the 13th since the American acquisition – is made eye-watering by the extraordinarily large amount willingly paid by Chelsea chairman Todd Boehly and the astonishing length of the deal.
Growing elderly at Stamford Bridge won’t only be Mudryk’s experience. Right back Reece James recently signed a six and a half-year contract, and new defender Benoit Badiashile has a seven-and-a-half-year deal.
A club that once relied on chaos theory and purposeful uncertainty to elicit the best performance from elite professionals has now made a complete 180° turn and is making every effort to ensure that everyone feels safe and secure till they have grey hair.
Its justification is limited to high street accounting. Boehly can spend £88 million on Mudryk and spread the cost out over the course of the agreement.
That makes it far simpler to abide by the new financial sustainability regulations, which limit teams to spending 90, 80, and ultimately 70 percent of their revenue on salaries, transfers, and other expenses over the next three years.
The approach is not without risk, despite the fact that it won’t break the bank or cause a mass exodus to balance the books.
With international experience and recognition from Uefa as one of the top young players in this year’s Champions League group stage, Mudryk departs Shakhtar Donetsk as a rising star.
At one point, he was recorded as jogging at a speed of 36.6 km/h (22.7 mph).
Boehly merely needs to review Chelsea’s prior financial statements to see how much money was squandered on Romelu Lukaku, the striker who was the closest thing to a sure certainty.
Prior to the transfer, Lukaku had a ton of Premier League experience, had won the Serie A championship, and had scored four goals at Euro 2020 for Belgium.
But it turned out that £97.5 million was wasted on a disastrous transfer at Stamford Bridge.
It is not a given that foreign athletes will settle in London. Alvaro Morata, a Spanish striker for Chelsea, once again burned their fingertips since he was unaware of how frequently it rains in this area.
At clubs, managers come and go. A Premier League coach lasts only about two years on average.
It is the reason why other Premier League clubs have considered potentially limitless contracts but have refrained from taking that step.
Only organizations with the financial clout of Chelsea can consider the benefits and risks and decide to proceed.
Mykhailo Mudryk
Mykhailo Petrovych Mudryk, a professional football player from Ukraine, was born on January 5, 2001. He plays as a winger for Chelsea of the Premier League and the Ukrainian national team.
Before transferring to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2016, Mudryk began his career in the Metalist Kharkiv and Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk academies.
Two years later, he made his professional debut after receiving loans from Arsenal Kyiv and Desna Chernihiv. He transferred to Chelsea of England in 2023 for an initial payment of £87 million.

Mudryk’s Tattoo
ONLY JESUS
On his neck, the winger’s most noticeable tattoo is visible.
Only Jesus is tattooed throughout his body in huge lettering.
AGAIN AND AGAIN
On Mudryk’s right leg, the word “again” is inked, maybe alluding to the perseverance required for him to succeed.
On his right shin, the word “again” is written six times in total.
It is hidden by his football sock during games, but when Mudryk works out in shorts in the gym, his “again” is visible.
DEAR GOD
Another English phrase is inked on Mudryk’s chest.
He is a devoted Christian, and much of his writing reflects this.
The ink on his chest reads: “Dear God, if today I lose my hope, please remind me that your plans are better than my dreams.”
HEART TO HEART
Mudryk has one of his more striking works of art on the left side of his chest.
Above his actual heart, he has a vivid crimson heart tattooed.
It blends into a football, representing his passion for the sport.
POINTING A FINGER
On his finger, Mykhailo Mudryk has another inked religious symbol.
He expresses his thankfulness for everything he has in this one.
It says, “Thanks be to God.”
CROSS YOUR FINGERS
On one of his hands, the football star has a minor tattoo.
On the back of his left hand, he has an understated cross inscribed in black ink.
Another indication of his Christianity is the cross.
