Inter Milan Extends Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s Contract Through 2027

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s New Deal with Inter

According to Главком: Inter Milan has secured veteran midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan with a contract extension that keeps him at the club until the summer of 2027. This move demonstrates the club’s faith in the experienced player, who joined Inter on a free transfer in July 2022. Since then, Mkhitaryan has become a key figure in the squad, helping the team clinch two Serie A titles, along with two Coppa Italia and two Supercoppa Italiana trophies.

Performance and Career Highlights

Last season, Mkhitaryan appeared in 39 matches across all competitions, netting 4 goals and providing 3 assists. His contributions were pivotal as Inter reached the Champions League final twice during his tenure. Before joining Inter, Mkhitaryan built an impressive club résumé, playing for teams such as:

• Shakhtar Donetsk
• Borussia Dortmund
• Manchester United
• Arsenal
• Roma

What is Henrikh Mkhitaryan best known for? He spent 2.5 seasons at Shakhtar Donetsk, where he became the Ukrainian Premier League’s top scorer in the 2012/13 campaign with 25 goals. He then moved from Ukraine to Borussia Dortmund for €27.5 million, playing three seasons there. Mkhitaryan is also a champion in Armenia, Ukraine, and Italy.

Mkhitaryan’s international career with Armenia began in 2007, and he has since earned 95 caps, scoring 32 goals. He holds the record as Armenia’s all-time top scorer and ranks second in the team’s appearance list. His last match for the national team was in November 2021.

Separately, Inter bid farewell to four players: Sommer, Acerbi, de Vrij, and Darmian, whose contracts expired on June 30. Meanwhile, Bologna appointed Domenico Tedesco as head coach on a two-year deal with an option for an additional season.

Extending Mkhitaryan’s contract highlights Inter’s strategic approach to strengthening the squad. Given his significant contributions to the club’s achievements and his wealth of international experience, Inter hopes Mkhitaryan will help drive the team to new heights in upcoming seasons. By parting ways with several players, Inter is clearly also planning a squad refresh, which could open up new opportunities for the team’s development in future competitions.

As Inter Milan looks to solidify its roster for the future, the departure of key players following their historic double triumph raises questions about the team's next steps.
