Henrikh Mkhitaryan's agent: Juventus move makes sense

Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be ‘suitable’ for Juventus, according to his agent Mino Raiola. The Bianconeri have been linked with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder after giving up on signing Wesley Sneijder, and the Armenian midfielder’s agent says it’s possible he could move to Serie A.

“He’s an extraordinary footballer, on both a technical and professional level,” was Raiola’s assessment in an interview with Radio Anch’io Sport.

“He grew up in Armenia, then moved to Shakhtar Donetsk. He can create assists and goals, he’s useful to a team.

“He’s suitable for Juve, he can be part of one of the top 10 teams in the world. However, it’s difficult to see Borussia Dortmund letting him go, but he could bring something extra to the Italian League. “We’ll see if he can get to Serie A.” OUR VIEW

Mkhitaryan is an elite level footballer who would be suitable for a number of elite clubs, including Juventus. As Raiola says though, that is all down to Dortmund. These quotes are rather bizarre though. Maybe Raiola is trying to secure a contract extension for his client. If Dortmund do fail to get out of their current predicament – they are second from bottom of the Bundesliga – then they will have to sell. However, they will be keen to hold on to all their best players as they try to force their way up the league.
