Henrikh Mkhitaryan says he will call time on his playing career once his contract at Inter Milan has expired.
Interviewed by La Repubblica, Mkhitaryan said: “I don’t know how much longer I’ll play. I’m not ruling anything out, but I know I still want to be on the field.”
“I have one year left on my contract with Inter. If they don’t kick me out, I’m staying. I don’t want to retire with the regret of having done it too soon. After Inter, I’m done. Moreover, I don’t want to lower the level,” he noted.
“I won’t go back to playing in Armenia. And destinations like Saudi Arabia don’t interest me. With all due respect, I love football for the game, not for money. When I wake up, I want to train and show what I’m worth,” Mkhitaryan said.
Speaking about his plans after football, Mkhitaryan said: “After football? Today I say I’d like to leave the football world, but never say never. I’ll need time to reflect and rest, with my family.”
