Coach José Mourinho is campaigning to keep Roma star Henrikh Mkhitaryan amid contract talks, The Cult of Calcio reports.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan decided the contest between Sampdoria and Roma with his fourth goal of the season. Despite past disagreements with José Mourinho, he has continued to serve a key role. However, his contract runs out in June.
The coach invited the parties to reach an agreement in his post-game remarks to Sky: “I want him to stay, and I think the management and the player are on the same page. Mino Raiola is enamored with his clients. If Mkhitaryan wishes to continue playing with Roma, his agent will make it happen.”
According to previous reports, the versatile attacker asks for a two-year contract and to confirm his current salary. Instead, the front office prefers reducing it considering his age. The 33-year-old makes €4M. He penned a short-term deal last summer.
