Inter Milan Decides on Mkhitaryan’s Contract Renewal

Press reports have revealed that Inter Milan does not intend, as of now, to offer a contract renewal to their midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, whose contract expires next June, as the management plans to restructure the midfield at the end of the season.

According to “Calcio Mercato,” Mkhitaryan, who is 37 years old, remains an influential figure in the locker room and is highly valued for his commitment and discipline. However, age is a significant factor in sports planning, especially as several veteran players are being evaluated before the start of the new season.

These developments come at a time when Inter Milan continues its battle for the Italian league title, prompting the management to handle any decisions cautiously that might affect the team’s stability. Sources confirm that nothing has been finalized yet, and the final decision will be influenced by the season’s results and both technical and financial planning.

In a related context, the name Alexander Stankovic emerges as a potential option to replace Mkhitaryan, as Inter Milan has a clause that allows them to repurchase the Serbian midfielder for 23 million euros from Club Brugge. There is a belief within the club in his ability to represent a new phase based on rejuvenation.

Mkhitaryan wishes to continue in a project that offers him a genuine athletic role, while the final decision will rest with the coaching staff in evaluating his future. For now, Inter Milan prefers to wait before making a final decision, given the possibility of initiating a new transitional phase in the midfield at the end of the season.
