Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Remain at Inter Milan Through 2026–27

Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has decided to extend his contract with Inter Milan for the 2026–27 season, declining retirement for at least one more year. The 37-year-old's current deal expires on June 30, and Inter granted him full autonomy to choose between ending his playing career or continuing following the 2025–26 campaign. According to Italian media reports, Mkhitaryan opted to remain with the Serie A club. The extension will help Inter maintain midfield continuity while the club gradually reshapes its squad for future seasons. Mkhitaryan, one of the most accomplished Armenian athletes in European football, has been a key figure in Inter's recent campaigns.
