Mkhitaryan gets power to decide on Inter future after June 30 | OneFootball

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is only under contract with Inter until June 30, but the decision on his future is reportedly entirely in his own hands.

The midfielder recently celebrated his 37th birthday in January and remains a key figure within Cristian Chivu’s squad, contributing two goals and three assists in 29 appearances between the Champions League, Serie A, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana this season.

He will be a free agent at the end of June, and Inter are reportedly open to discussing a new deal to extend that contract until June 2027.

However, it won’t be until the final weeks of the campaign, largely because Mkhitaryan has not made a decision on where he sees his future.

It is still possible the former Roma, Arsenal and Manchester United man could hang up his boots before turning 38.

If he does continue his playing career, it might not necessarily be at Inter, but in a less taxing league where he can pick up one final payday.

Both FCInterNews and transfer pundit Fabrizio Romano maintain the decision is entirely in the Armenia international’s hands.

If he was to sign a new deal with Inter, then it would mean a significant wage cut by circa 20 per cent.
