What is Mkhitaryan like now?

At 37 years old, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan still demonstrates his crucial influence in the Inter Milan squad.

Mkhitaryan wants to stay at Inter.

According to Corriere dello Sport , Inter's management is considering offering the Armenian midfielder a new one-year contract, thus keeping him at the club after he turns 38.

For his part, Mkhitaryan has also made his future clear: either continue with Inter or retire. He has no intention of seeking a new contract elsewhere. The midfielder has also retired from the Armenian national team to focus entirely on his club career.

Following the disappointment of a crushing 0-5 defeat to PSG in last season's Champions League final, Mkhitaryan considered retirement. However, he decided to continue playing when he felt his physical condition was still good enough. This season, the veteran midfielder continued to play a crucial role in Inter's title-winning campaign.

Mkhitaryan joined Inter in 2022 and quickly became an experienced link in the "Nerazzurri's" tactical system. Although Oaktree Capital, Inter's owner, is pursuing a strategy of rejuvenating the squad, Mkhitaryan is likely to be an exception.

The club's leadership believes that his enduring physical fitness and sharp tactical thinking are still sufficient to meet the demands of top-level competition, at least in the short term.

Currently, Inter have the advantage in the Serie A title race, leading second-placed AC Milan by eight points. If he maintains his consistent form, Mkhitaryan could add another domestic title to his already impressive collection.

Besides Mkhitaryan, Inter will also soon determine the future of their older key players. Goalkeeper Yann Sommer (37 years old), defender Francesco Acerbi (38 years old), Stefan De Vrij (34 years old) and Matteo Darmian (36 years old) are all nearing the end of their contracts and could leave the club this summer.

Inter's 4 goals against Barca: In the early hours of May 7th, Barcelona lost to Inter Milan 3-4 in extra time in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
