Super agent Mino Raiola has revealed that his client Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not make a move to Arsenal unless Alexis Sanchez joins Manchester United.
Mkhitaryan’s future at the Red Devils was cast in doubt after manager Jose Mourinho dropped the Armenian ahead of the 3-0 victory over Stoke City on Monday.
The 28-year-old was on the bench against Everton on New Year’s Day and then omitted from the matchday squad against the Potters. He’s believed to be a prime target for Arsenal, but Raiola insists Sanchez is a key part of the possible deal.
“Man Utd are not going to sign Sanchez unless Mkhi agrees to join Arsenal,” he told Sky Sports News.
“Mkhi is going to do what is best for him. He has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, so it’s his decision.
“Sanchez is part of the Mkhi deal, not the other way around.”
When asked by Sky Sports about the chances of Mkhitaryan joining the Gunners, Raiola said: “At this moment low, but life is dynamic.”
