Mkhitaryan: He could have joined Inter Milan a year early, but he stayed in Rome because he didn’t want to take the risk and wait.

Inter Milan midfielder Mkhitaryan has played for many teams in his career, including Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal and Roma. In the summer of 2021, his contract with Rome expired. He could have joined Inter Milan as a free agent, but was asked to wait patiently. In the end, he chose to stay in Rome for another year.

Mkhitaryan wrote in her autobiography: I talked with Inter Milan director Osilio before the game against Spezia, when I was on vacation in Monaco. He said they wanted me to join Inter and I thanked him for his support, but over the next few days I had to decide whether to stay in Rome.

I don't want to take risks, I don't want to lose the opportunity to join Inter Milan while losing Rome. What if Inter Milan cannot sell those two players (Lukaku and Ashraf)? Let's do this, I'll play in Rome for another year and I'll talk about joining Inter next year.
