Arsenal is one of several European clubs chasing the signature of Mykhaylo Mudryk.
The Shaktar Donetsk youngster has done well in this campaign and was excellent during the Champions League group stages.
His fine form caught the attention of Arsenal and several European clubs, including Juventus and Real Madrid.
His present employers know they have a top player on their hands and are prepared to make as much money as possible from his sale.
Ahead of the next transfer window, when clubs might start looking to add him to their squad, they have set their asking price for his signature.
A report on The Athletic claims they want to make €100m from his departure.
Shakhtar’s director of football, Dario Srna, said: ‘If somebody wants to buy Mudryk, they must pay huge, huge, huge money. Otherwise the president of the club (Rinat Akhmetov) will not sell him.
‘The market is deciding the price — not me. Antony, [Jack] Grealish, they are players of more than €100m and for me, Mudryk does not have less quality than them.
‘This is the last two transfers in the past year, in more or less the same positions. [Jadon] Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. We want just respect.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mudryk is one of the most coveted youngsters around now and we must be prepared to smash our transfer record to add him to our squad.
If we are not prepared to pay big for his signature, we are better off turning our attention to other attacking targets now.

I always find it interesting that when players are linked to Arsenal the asking price is significantly higher then when the said player ends up signing for another club for a lot less than previously qouted for us, Lucas paqueta apparently Lyon were asking for something like €60 but he then ends up joining West Ham for less than that, same thing with Guimaraes, Isak and countless examples of other rumoured targets whether that is media bs or the selling clubs themselves who knows. I’m sure if we offered Shakhtar £51M they would accept that, so I would take this with a pinch of salt.
He’s surely off his rocker. No one is paying 100m for a player playing in that league, it’s ridiculous to even suggest it.
Yeah, I’m sure there are better options.
For such a crazy price, Arsenal should ditch him at once and go for Facundo Torres or Thuram. Murdryk is too fund of running up with the ball at crazy speed and provoking defenders who keep pulling him down to kill the spirit of the game.
Facundo instead plays intelligently and succeeds to get the team to keep control of the ball more.
No way Arsenal will pay that kind of money for a player who would probably be playing second fiddle to Martinelli and Zaka
We have bukayo Saka @200mil quids
That’s bull sheet, and that’s hatred too
There are other players out their who can do more him so there’s no need of paying such hugs amount of money on him 😌😌
Is only if they can sell him 52m arsenal can buy him
The price is too high, but not that they are going to pay such amount of funds they just put it there as a price anyway mudryk is a good wonder kind Arsenal should not lose such kind of players.
This is what happened between wiefred zaha and Nickolas pepe so I think they should go for him he is good 💯
