Mkhitaryan has played almost every available minute for Inter this campaign and has shown no signs of slowing down, seemingly aging like a fine wine.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Inter are convinced that Mkhitaryan is still a key part of Inzaghi’s squad in the Lombardy capital and they’re ready to start discussing a new contract with his entourage.

The 34-year-old’s current deal expires at the end of this season and the idea is to offer him a one-year renewal, which’ll expire in June 2025. The midfielder wants to stay with the club and a deal shouldn’t be too difficult to agree.
