Mkhitaryan extends stay at the club

The club has extended the original loan agreement that will now see Mkhitaryan, 31, stay until the end of the current campaign, while a preliminary agreement has also been reached for the player to remain for the 2020-21 season.

“I'm very pleased,” Mkhitaryan said.

“I'm happy to extend my stay here, because I still have things that I haven’t achieved yet that I want to achieve.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Mkhitaryan has provided six goals and four assists in 19 games for the club to date.

He has started both of the side’s matches since Serie A restarted earlier this month.

“We are happy that Henrikh has decided to stay with us, and help us continue to grow,” said Guido Fienga, the club’s CEO.

“The club’s targets have not changed and we always want to have players at our club, like Micki, who show their desire, professionalism and determination, who represent our club and our fans in the right way.

“I hope Micki stays at Roma for a long time – and I want to congratulate him on the birth of his son here, too.”
