Juventus want to have Henrikh Mkhitaryan on the team

Midfielder for Roma and the Armenia national football team Henrikh Mkhitaryan might move to Juventus.

According to Calciomercatonews, Juventus are interested in the 32-year-old footballer’s services and are waiting for Mkhitaryan’s decision.

Earlier, there were rumors that Mkhitaryan isn’t rushing to extend his contract with FC Roma which will end after this season.

Raiola will have a meeting with FC Roma’s administration soon in order to discuss Mkhitaryan’s future and the terms of the new contract.

In September 2020, MKhitaryan moved from Arsenal to Roma, with which he has played 20 matches, scored 9 goals and made 8 passes for goals during this championship.

The senior player of Armenia’s national football team has also played with Yerevan’ Pyunik (2006-09), Metalurh Donetsk (2009-10), Shakhtar Donetsk (2010-13), Borussia Dortmund (2013-16) and Manchester United (2016-18).

Mkhitaryan joined the Armenia national football team on January 14, 2007 during the friendly match with Panama (1-1). He played 88 matches with the Armenian team and is the top bomber in the history of the team with 30 goals. Recently, the midfielder set a record after being recognized as Armenia’s best footballer for the tenth time.
