Leeds have initiated formal discussions with Chelsea regarding a loan deal for winger Michail Mudrik. The player has reportedly already signalled his desire to make the switch.
The Whites are proposing a simple loan until the end of the season, with no option to buy included. Their initial offer suggests a 50-50 split on wages, accompanied by no rental fee.
However, Chelsea are adamant that Leeds should cover Mudrik's full salary during his time at the club. The London side is also asking for a loan fee in the region of £2-3 million.
Leeds are expected to return with an improved offer soon, as Mudrik remains their top transfer target with the window drawing to a close. The club is keen to get this deal over the line.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with the structure of the loan and financial terms still to be finalised.
