Report: Mkhitaryan likely to leave Roma when season ends

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is likely to leave Roma at the end of this season, Chempionat.ru cited La Repubblica as saying Wednesday, January 26.

The player's contract expires in June, and the Roman club will most likely not renew it. One of the reasons is reportedly Mkhitaryan's salary, which is €3 million a year.

"Roma do not want to pay that kind of money to the 33-year-old player and are already looking for a replacement," the report said.

Mkhitaryan spent 18 months under coach Jose Mourinho at United between 2016 and 2018 before leaving for Arsenal in a swap deal for Alexis Sanchez after falling out of favor with the Portuguese boss. After struggling at Arsenal, the Armenian moved to Serie A with Roma where he has spent the last season-and-a-half and has now been joined by Mourinho after he was sacked by Tottenham in April 2021.
