Chelsea ideally prefer a loan move to another Premier League outfit. Leeds have made a proposal, but it has not satisfied the Blues' hierarchy.
There is an acknowledgement that Mudryk needs to play regularly at the current phase of his career, something which Leeds can't guarantee.
Ipswich Town and Coventry City are also keeping tabs on the talented attacker, while some European sides are likewise keen on his services.
Chelsea are likely to choose a loan club based on playing time guarantees. Mudryk has opened the door for a temporary switch elsewhere.
