Mkhitaryan Opens a New Round in Rome

Henrikh Mkhitaryan continued his career at AS Roma. The Armenian midfielder joined Roma from Arsenal on loan.

Mkhitaryan had landed in the city of Rome on Monday (2/9/2019) morning local time. He then signed a loan agreement for one season.

Rome paid 3 million euros to borrow Mkhitaryan. The agreement also includes a performance bonus that can reach 100,000 euros.

Mkhitaryan did not really enter Unai Emery's plans at Arsenal this season. In the English League 2019/2020, he has only just become a starter. Mkhitaryan also saw Rome as a new chapter in his career.

"This is an extraordinary opportunity for me to start a new chapter, with a great club," Mkhitaryan was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

"I know what Rome is and I am sure we can achieve extraordinary things together," he said.

Mkhitaryan became Roma's second recruit on the last day of the summer transfer window. Previously, I Lupi also inaugurated the arrival of Nikola Kalinic from Atletico Madrid.
