Liverpool may be keen to add another wide player to the squad to make up for the loss of Sadio Mane over the summer, as he was sold to Bayern Munich.
The Reds do have the likes of Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota to make up for it, but could add another face in the near future in the form of Mudryk.
Brentford were another club who were willing to break their transfer record to sign Mudryk over the summer transfer window, but, like others, didn’t make a move.
Other than them, there is also interest from La Liga and Sevilla, who have noted Mudryk’s impressive Champions League record and are willing to make a move.
