Henrikh Mkhitaryan is staying at Inter Milan. The 37-year-old Armenian midfielder signed a one-year contract extension that keeps him at the Serie A champions through June 2027, with a reported base salary of €2 million per year plus bonuses.
Here’s the detail that stands out: Mkhitaryan negotiated the entire deal himself, without an agent. In a sport where player representation has become its own cottage industry, with agents routinely commanding fees in the millions, the veteran midfielder handled his own business.
Why a 37-year-old midfielder still matters
Mkhitaryan joined Inter Milan in 2022 and has since carved out a role that extends well beyond his contributions on the pitch. The club has publicly valued him as a mentor for its younger squad members, a leadership function that doesn’t show up in the stat sheet but carries real weight in a locker room.
