    England or Germany? - Conflicting reports on Liverpool target
    Mkhitaryan's future


    There have been conflicting reports on the future of Shakhtar Donetsk
    attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan this weekend.


    For the past week liverpool-fc/">Liverpool FC have been strongly
    linked with snapping up Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan and
    at many points the deal has looked done.

    You can understand why they are after the man dubbed `the Armenian
    Zidane'. The attacking midfielder has had a stunning season in
    Ukraine; bagging 25 goals in 29 matches from his position behind the
    striker and his excellent campaign culminated in a one-man demolition
    of Denmark as Armenia thrashed the Danes on home soil.

    But Liverpool are not the only team obviously attracted by this
    wonderful 24-year-old magician. Anzhi Makhachkala and Tottenham
    Hotspur were also recently linked with the player but Borussia
    Dortmund are considered to be The Reds main rival for his services.

    One thing for sure is that Mkhitaryan wants an exit. He has failed to
    turn up for the Ukrainian champions summer training camp and is
    reportedly still in Yerevan deciding on his future.

    Which, according to who you believe, has two differing confirmed destinations.

    Reports in Russia would lead you to believe that a fee of £25 million
    has been confirmed for the player with Liverpool. It was suggested
    yesterday that he will fly out of Armenia for Liverpool within the
    next 72 hours in order to sign on the dotted line and complete a
    medical; becoming a Liverpool player in the process.

    However if you think that is the end of it you have another thing
    coming; because over here in the UK we feel slightly different about
    his next location.

    According to The Independent the playmaker has actually decided that
    his future lies with Borussia Dortmund as the permanent replacement
    for Mario Gotze of Bayern Munich.

    A fee of around £20 million will take the talent to the Bundesliga
    leaving Liverpool dumbfounded in what looked a simple pursuit.

    This story comes courtesy of Sam Wallace, the papers Chief Football
    Correspondent, and he usually gets his information right so perhaps
    you are more inclined to believe him rather than the report of an
    obscure Russian site you may never have heard of.

    And if you do then unfortunately you are resigning yourself to the
    thought of not having Mkhitaryan in your team next season.

    But the writer of the report is Artur Petrosyan who is the
    Editor-In-Chief at the site and specialises in Liverpool FC.

    And according to his Twitter Liverpool fans should remain optimistic....

    But if his move to Borussia Dortmund is the real destination you can
    be sure one man will be thoroughly pleased.

    Paul Merson; imagine him trying to spit that one out on Gillette
    Soccer Saturday?
