MIRROR: LIVERPOOL READY TO SPLASH £20 MLN ON HENRIKH MKHITARYAN
June 4, 2013 - 13:20 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Liverpool are ready to splash £20million on main
summer transfer target Henrikh Mkhitaryan... regardless of whether
Luis Suarez gets his transfer or not, Mirror reported.
The Anfield club are close to tying up a big money deal for Armenia
international Mkhitaryan, despite his Ukrainian club Shaktar Donetsk's
high asking price.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will complete the deal for the attacking
midfielder he has targeted for months with the blessing of his American
owners, regardless of the uncertainty over the Suarez's future.
Mkhitaryan is not seen as a direct replacement for Uruguay striker
Suarez, and was identified as the main summer signing long before
Real Madrid came calling with an offer that has turned Suarez's head.
Rodgers wants a midfielder who can knit together his side's creative
play while also providing a goal threat from behind the front line.
The Armenian fits the bill after attracting the attention of the likes
of Chelsea, Manchester City, Barcelona, Juventus and Atletico Madrid
with his 25 goals from midfield this season.
The 24-year-old, who has just set a Ukrainian Premier League record
for most goals in a season, signed with Italian super-agent Mino
Raiola in May to facilitate his move to a top European club.
