Borussia Dortmund have already lost two key players during the summer transfer window in Ilkay Gundogan and captain Mats Hummels. And now, they risk the departure of a third: Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The 27-year-old's contract at Signal Iduna Park expires in 2017, and despite the club's best efforts, he still has not agreed to an early extension of his working agreement with the Ruhr side.
Speaking to Bild (in German) on Monday, BVB sporting director Michael Zorc announced that he expected Mkhitaryan's future to be settled this week, whether the Armenian decides to commit his long-term future to Dortmund or not.
