Inter management will be watching Manchester United’s cup clash with Bristol City closely in order to see how Henrikh Mkhitaryan performs. Regardless of the Joao Mario swap possibility, the Armenian is one of a few big names who could be looking for a January loan move Tuttosport explain. Mkhitaryan, should he join, could play in all the roles behind club captain Mauro Icardi.
Something that other target Simone Verdi would be unable to do as he could only play on either wing instead of through the middle also. It should be repeated that Inter will first try pry the current starman of Bologna away during the coming weeks in an operation similar to the one which secured Roberto Gagliardini from Atalanta in January last season. Meaning Mkhitaryan and also Gerard Deulofeu will remain in reserve in case the move fails.
Deulofeu is a possibility because he is not getting the necessary game time at Barcelona in order to achieve his goal of playing in Russia with Spain at the 2018 World Cup.
