Serie A leaders Inter Milan are reportedly keen to tie veteran star Henrikh Mkhitaryan down to a new contract.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 37-year-old could finish his career at San Siro if both parties agree to a short-term extension.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has entered the final five months of his contract.
Furthermore, his summer exit looked like a foregone conclusion until not long ago.
However, his impressive form appears to have convinced the Nerazzurri to change their stance.
Inter Milan to Tie Henrikh Mkhitaryan Down to Lifetime Contract
Manager Cristian Chivu keeps Mkhitaryan in high esteem. Indeed, he has handed the former Roma ace 24 appearances across all competitions this term.
Meanwhile, Mkhitaryan has repaid the trust with a string of fantastic performances.
Therefore, Inter are reportedly contemplating offering him a new short-term deal.
It would see the Armenian ace hang up his boots at San Siro.
Otherwise, a return to his homeland could be on the cards. Moreover, several Saudi Pro League clubs have also set their sights on the versatile midfielder.
Micky isn’t just a midfielder, he’s the team’s backbone. On the pitch, off the pitch, and all the way up to management, his presence drives leadership, stability, and winning. Letting him go isn’t just a loss, it’s a strategic mistake Inter can’t afford.
Thanks for everything Mhiki, but that’s enough of you. We don’t need 10 players in midfield, out of veterans we’ll have Barella, Hakan and Zielinski. Than there will be Sucic, Diouf and Stankovic, maybe Akinsanmiro even. If Hakan leaves, bring some tall, strong proper defensive midfielder and give more minutes to young players like Bovo, Berenbruch, Topalovic…
Agree his contract should be extended. He is a good option when veteran experience is needed.
