Liverpool look set to miss out on one of their prime transfer targets
this summer with Henrikh Mkhitaryan likely to join Borussia Dortmund
instead, according to The Guardian.
The German club sent a delegation to Donetsk on Friday with the chief
executive Hans-Joachim Watzke and the sporting director Michael Zorc
reportedly striking a deal believed to be worth 25m (£21.5m) for the
midfielder to join the Champions League runners-up.
Brendan Rodgers had earmarked the Armenian as a key recruitment this
summer but it now appears that he will have to look elsewhere to
strengthen his midfield. There was no news on whether the player had
agreed personal terms with Dortmund but the German club have money to
spend after selling Mario Götze for 37m to Bayern Munich and Watzke
said recently that the club may spend up to 50m this summer, The
Guardian reports.
