Inter Milan midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is reportedly personally negotiating a contract extension with the Nerazzurri, according to Italian media.

The reports come after Sky Sport reported that the former captain and all-time top goalscorer of the Armenian national football team has reportedly agreed to remain at Inter Milan for one more season, with the deal including a pay cut. According to Sky Sport, Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu convinced Mkhitaryan to stay. 

The new report says Mkhitaryan is personally engaged in talks over the new contract, without intermediaries.
