Armenian on verge of £20.5m move to Borussia Dortmund
Liverpool have been forced to admit defeat in their bid to sign
Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The highly-rated Armenia international is on the brink of completing a
£20.5m move to Borussia Dortmund.
Shakhtar informed the Reds earlier today that a deal was in place with
the Champions League finalists who have been granted permission to
discuss personal terms with the player.
It's a major blow to Brendan Rodgers' summer transfer plans with the
Liverpool manager having been excited about the prospect of working
with the prolific 24-year-old.
Negotiations had dragged on for weeks with the Reds unable to secure a deal.
Mkhitaryan is now expected to pen a five-year contract with German
outfit Dortmund.
