2022-07-30 11:01JAKARTA – Inter Milan's new attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan revealed that Jose Mourinho had asked him not to leave AS Roma in the player transfer market this summer. Quoted from Italian Football , Thursday (28/7/2022), the Armenian player said it was not only Mourinho who didn't want him to leave, but also Roma wanted him to stay.
"I am disappointed to leave Roma, I had three good years there and won the Conference League. However, everyone knows that football changes quickly and I am still 33 years old and I still want to win," said Mkhitaryan.
"Mourinho didn't want me to leave? Yes, that's true. Not only him, but also the club. In the end we couldn't reach an agreement, so I decided to leave."
"It is good for me and for Roma because they have now got (Paulo) Dybala, I am very happy for them," he said.
Mkhitaryan explained that he already knew several players at Inter and felt the family atmosphere in Simone Inzaghi's squad.
"Lukaku, Dzeko and Darmian, my former team-mates, have told me a lot about this squad. I felt good from day one, part of the family," said Mkhitaryan.
During his time with AS Roma, Mkhitaryan played in 117 games in various competitions and contributed 29 goals and 28 assists from a total of 8,617 minutes played.
