At the end of his contract with Roma in June, Henrikh Mkhitaryan should not extend to Italy and is attracting interest from OM.
During the winter transfer window, Pablo Longoria proved that he was capable of quantitatively strengthening the squad of Marseille Olympics with zero euros in his pocket. Indeed, the Marseille president has recruited Cédric Bakambu, who looks rather like a good deal, as well as Sead Kolasinac, whose contribution has been much less important since January. Next summer, the president of OM intends to continue in this dynamic by targeting a maximum of free players likely to strengthen the team of Jorge Sampaoli. In this sense, Pablo Longoria has his sights on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, free at the end of the season with AS Roma. The Armenian international, 33 games on the clock in all competitions this season (3 goals, 7 assists), pleases the OM staff enormously.

According to the information relayed by the @ArmenieFootball account, Olympique de Marseille will nevertheless have to fight with AC Milan to afford the talented 33-year-old attacking midfielder. “Several clubs interested in Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Mkhitaryan could continue his career in MLS. AC Milan and Olympique de Marseille will fight to sign him. The player has ended extension negotiations with Roma. Advanced contacts have been initiated between the player’s agent Mino Raiola and AC. Contacts with OM where the club showed a lot of interest in the player. (or) A departure for MLS to end his career and then begin his life as a retiree” published the account specializing in Armenian football, the country in which Mkhitaryan is a rockstar. It now remains to be seen whether, faced with the prestigious competition of AC Milan, the leaders of Olympique de Marseille, who already have a player with a similar profile with Dimitri Payet, will be able to find the arguments to convince Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
