What is a loan move in football?

A loan move in football is when a player temporarily joins another club for a set period, often to gain experience or game time. Chelsea expects Mykhailo Mudryk to go on loan, meaning he'll play for a different team before returning to Chelsea. This helps players develop without the original club losing their long-term asset.
