23:30 25 April, 2013Armenian national football team and Ukraine’s FC Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will attempt to transfer to another club this summer, Champion.com.ua reports.
According to the source, Mkhitaryan, 24, is dissatisfied with his current salary, which is €1 million per year. He had applied to Shakhtar Manager Mircea Lucescu, on numerous occasions, with respect to the matter of raising his salary, but the Romanian specialist did speak with the Ukrainian club’s owner and president, Rinat Akhmetov, regarding this matter.
In early 2013, the Armenian international told Lucescu that he wants €2.5 million per year, but the manager noted that this is unrealistic. Subsequently, Mkhitaryan decided to leave Shakhtar. In addition, the Armenian midfielder’s working contract could undergo some changes.
To note, FC Shakhtar Donetsk is asking for €40 million for Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s transfer.
