While things have slowed down a bit in the Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Inter rumour department, what with it being the Christmas period and all that, it refuses to go away, and that suggests there’s certainly something behind it.

 

Gazzetta dello Sport on Thursday continue their coverage by stating the Serie A outfit are still in talks with three clubs regarding three different arrivals, namely Javier Pastore, Ramires and Manchester United’s attacking midfielder.

While the Argentinian is described as Walter Sabatini’s ‘dream’ for Inter and the Brazilian’s dossier labeled ‘difficult’, Mkhitaryan’s situation appears the simplest on paper.

The Italian outlet explain all that’s needed for the deal to go through is José Mourinho’s ‘okay’ for a dry loan without a view to buy, but there in lies the issue.

Over the course of our coverage of the rumours, the one details that always appears to come up is the Portuguese’s apparent reluctance to see the Armenia international leave temporarily, most recently on Christmas Day in Tuttosport.

This information appears to be corroborated by Corriere dello Sport, who claim the only way Manchester United would agree to the player’s exit would be through a full transfer, no loan.

Despite being brought back into the match days squads over the busy festive period, Mkhitaryan’s future at Old Trafford appears to remain in the balance, and with Borussia Dortmund allegedly now snooping around, things look like they might get very interesting.
