'Henrikh Mkhitaryan going to Juventus wouldn't be a surprise'
at 16:14
By FootballItalia
Mircea Lucescu says that it 'wouldn't be a surprise' if Borussia
Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan were to move to Juventus.
The Armenian has been linked with a move to the Bianconeri, with the
player's agent Mino Raiola hinting that a move could happen.
Former Inter Coach Lucescu, who is now at Shakhtar, coached the
25-year-old before he moved to the Bundesliga, and says he would fit
in well in Serie A.
"I wouldn't be surprised to see him at Juve," Tuttosport quotes
Lucescu as saying.
"He's a guy who needs to feel loved and Dortmund have put him under
too much pressure. I think his time at Borussia is over.
"I could easily see him playing behind Llorente and Tevez, or indeed
any great champions. Mkhitaryan is quicker and a more willing runner
than [other rumoured target Wesley] Sneijder.
"Henrikh is a complete player, he creates, wins the ball and counter
attacks. Now he has to find the right environment.
"In Germany he's been greeted with suspicion because he's Armenian."
Tuttosport also reports that Juventus have already submitted a bid for
the player, which was turned down by Borussia Dortmund.
The newspaper believes that Raiola is trying to engineer the move, and
is working with the Bianconeri to make it happen. A bid of EURO 2m for a
six month loan is said to have been rejected, in a deal which would
see the move become permanent for between EURO 15m and EURO 18m.
Part of the reason for the rejection is thought to be that Dortmund do
not want to lose the player for their Champions League campaign, where
they will face Juventus in the last-16.
Mkhitaryan wouldn't be eligible to play against Dortmund as he would
be cup-tied, but it's thought that BVB are unwilling to weaken a side
which is languishing near the bottom of the Bundesliga.
