Chelsea is one of several clubs interested in signing Dynamo Kyiv's Ukrainian defender, Taras Mykhavko, in the summer transfer window. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in the player in England. Clubs in Spain, Italy, and Germany are monitoring the 20-year-old, and sources have confirmed that the most significant interest comes from the Premier League. Interest in the left-sided central defender is increasing, despite him signing a new long-term contract in January. Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton, and Bournemouth have also assessed Mykhavko. Tottenham have had internal discussions about him as a potential long-term target, while Nottingham Forest considers him a possible replacement for Murillo. Liverpool had also been monitoring the defender, but an attempt to sign him in the summer is now considered unlikely. Mykhavko has one cap for Ukraine and has made 17 appearances, scoring 2 goals, in the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season. Transfermarkt lists his current market value as €8.00m. Regarding past negotiations, it was reported in August 2025 that Dynamo Kyiv rejected a €15 million offer from Marseille and demanded €25 million. It was also reported in October 2025 that Porto was willing to pay €20 million.
