Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been told to hold out for a better deal than
Liverpool or Tottenham, by Shakhtar Donetsk coach Mircea Lucescu.
The Armenian midfielder is expected to join the Reds this summer,
despite Spurs joining the chase, but Shakhtar boss Luscescu has warned
the 24-year-old he would be making a mistake by linking up with either
‘inferior’ outfit.
‘It is his decision, his desire, but there is still time for him to
change his mind, because I think he is making a big mistake,’ Lucescu
said.
‘I can understand the urge to leave if he has a chance to go to a club
that surpasses Shakhtar, like Barcelona or Real Madrid, but not many
clubs are beyond our level – not clubs like Liverpool or Tottenham.
‘We are a strong club with 50,000 passionate supporters every week,
and every year we are fighting for the league, the cups and the
Champions League.
‘This place is good for him, and he is making a mistake if he thinks
there are many teams above this level.’
