Former BVB star Mkhitaryan makes key decision | OneFootball

He just keeps playing and playing and playing. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (37) simply can’t stop. Since 2022, the former Borussia Dortmund midfield playmaker has been lining up for Inter Milan. Now, the Armenian has made an important career decision.

Between 2013 and 2016, Mkhitaryan laced up his boots for BVB. In each of those seasons, he reached the DFB-Pokal final with the Black and Yellows. But he was not able to get his hands on the trophy even once. Bayern Munich proved too strong twice, and VfL Wolfsburg once. At least he celebrated Supercup triumphs in 2013 and 2014.

Mkhitaryan, who usually operates as a box-to-box midfielder, impresses with his football intelligence and precise passing. But in 140 appearances for the Black and Yellows, he not only set up 49 goals, he also scored an impressive 41 himself. Manchester United paid 42 million euros to bring the Armenia international to the Premier League. After spells at Arsenal and Roma, the midfielder ended up at Inter in 2022.

Double winner with Inter in 2026

With the Nerazzurri, Mkhitaryan celebrated winning the Coppa Italia in 2023 and the Scudetto the following year. In the season that has just ended, there was even a league-and-cup double to celebrate. That more titles could be added to his collection is quite possible, because the former BVB star has extended his contract with the Lombard club until 2027. His club announced this on Wednesday (1 July). The tireless Armenian, who has earned 95 international caps, will therefore remain at Inter for another season.

Although in the autumn of his career, Mkhitaryan remains one of the indispensable regular starters for the Nerazzurri. In the 2025/26 season, the former Dortmund man delivered 39 appearances and seven goal involvements for the 21-time national champions. Overall, the technician has taken the field 187 times for Inter, collecting 33 goal contributions in the process.
