Messi Reaches Out as Inter Miami Eyes 36-Year-Old Inter Milan Veteran Mkhitaryan

Inter Miami is preparing to make another high-profile move in the transfer market, this time targeting Inter Milan’s 36-year-old veteran, Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Italian club has reportedly decided to offload several aging players to refresh their squad ahead of the new season, with Mkhitaryan being the first name officially listed for sale.

According to sources close to the negotiations, Inter Miami has already opened talks with the player’s representatives, seeing the experienced midfielder as a valuable addition both on and off the pitch. Mkhitaryan, who has enjoyed a storied career with stints at clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Arsenal, Roma, and now Inter, could bring leadership and a wealth of experience to the MLS side as they look to build around global superstar Lionel Messi.

Messi himself has reportedly reached out to the Bosnian-born midfielder with a heartfelt message, encouraging him to make the move. “Come here and we will make history,” the Argentine icon allegedly told Mkhitaryan, fueling speculation that the veteran could soon join Miami’s growing roster of international stars.

For Inter Milan, the decision is purely strategic. Despite Mkhitaryan’s solid performances in recent seasons, the club is aiming to reduce the average age of its squad and free up wages for younger signings. His departure could also pave the way for Inter to target long-term replacements in midfield.

Fans in Miami are already buzzing at the prospect of another big signing following Messi’s arrival, with many believing Mkhitaryan’s technical skills and versatility could add another dimension to the team’s attack. If the deal goes through, the Armenian international (born in Yerevan, then part of the Soviet Union, but often associated with Bosnian football circles due to family ties) would likely sign a one-year contract with the option to extend, as per MLS regulations for veteran signings.

Negotiations are ongoing, but insiders believe an agreement could be reached within the next two weeks, with Mkhitaryan expected to become one of Inter Miami’s marquee players for the upcoming MLS campaign.
