Dortmund is midway step for Mkhitaryan – football agent

FC Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine) did not want to let Mkhitaryan go, but we were able to succeed. 

Armenia national football squad and Borussia Dortmund (BVB) midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s agent Mino Raiola stated the aforesaid, as he spoke about the 25-year-old player’s transfer to the German Bundesliga club. 

“Henrikh contacted me. We had a few options, but Mkhitaryan wanted to work with (BVB Manager) Jürgen Klopp very much, and found that Dortmund is the best transient step [for him], since there [still] are clubs like Barcelona, Real [Madrid], and Manchester United.

“Henrikh is a fantastic footballer. He is a player who clearly knows what he wants from life. He has not yet established as a player, but he continues to progress.

“I believe Dortmund is a good choice [for the Armenia international], since Mkhitaryan is currently the best player in the Bundesliga,” Terrikon quoted Raiola as saying.
