Exclusive: Why Mkhitaryan WON'T go to Juventus | by Fabrizio Romano
It’s not been a very enjoyable first experience in Manchester for Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Paid €31 million by the Red Devils this summer, the Armenian has barely earned any playing time, his rapport with Jose Mourinho never truly blossoming, mainly owing to what the Special One believes is a lack of fight on the former Borussia star’s part.
Could he move somewhere else, as recent reports would have us think?
We here at CM.com can confirm that Juventus isn’t a likely destination. Why? Because Marotta and Paratici are betting on Marko Pjaca. The Croatian talent has been injured and has missed a lot of games, but the Bianconeri hope that he will blossom into the midfielder they’re looking for.
Even Juan Cuadrado has started the season very well, meaning that there will be no budget for an attacking midfielder, especially when United won’t be happy to give their guy away for cheap.
Agent Mino Raiola has also not made any effort to find an alternative destination for his client, who could have gone to Turin alst year had Cuadrado not taken up the last non-Eu slot.
Last winter, Raiola tried again, but he was considered too expensive.
