According to JJDS Management Limited founder Femis Sagirov, the High Court of London issued a decision to freeze the assets of Ukrainian footballer Mihailo Mudryk at 2,5 million pounds sterling (approximately 3 million euros). The reason was a dispute over a potential breach of contract concerning the use of the player's image rights.
As Sport-Express reports, citing JJDS Management Limited founder Femis Sagirov, the High Court of London ruled to freeze Mudryk's assets at 2,5 million pounds.
According to the plaintiff, Mudryk failed to perform his contractual obligations under a January 2023 year agreement after his move from Donetsk’s Shakhtar to Chelsea. Specifically, it concerns the non-payment by Mudryk’s company of the portion of profits from advertising and other commercial contracts provided for by the agreement.
JJDS Management Limited founder Femis Segirow said that Mudryk’s assets and property are blocked. According to him, the company is not worried about a potential prolongation of the court proceedings since its financial claims are secured.
At the same time, this is not the only legal problem the Ukrainian footballer faced.
At the end of 2024 year Mudryk was suspended from football after a positive doping test for the forbidden substance meldonium. The player denied knowingly using banned substances and later appealed the imposed disqualification.
What is known about Mudryk now
31 July 2026 year Chelsea officially announced the conclusion of the anti-doping proceedings against Mudryk. After settling the case in agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the footballer was cleared to return to competition.
