ACCORDING to various news reports in Russia and the UK, Liverpool Football Club have agreed a fee with Ukrainian Champions, Shakhtar Donetsk, regarding the transfer of three times Armenian Footballer of the Year, Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Russian news outlet Sports Express has reported that a fee of around £25m (€30m) has been agreed between the two clubs, and that Mkhitaryan will be unveiled as a Liverpool player within the next 72 hours, subject to a medical.
Meanwhile, FutbolTV has also reported that Mkhitaryan is set to become a Red, stating that the player will arrive in Liverpool to complete his medical, possibly on Monday, following the arrival of his agent, Italian, Mino Raiola.
Reports had been circulating in Germany over the last few days that Dortmund were keen on taking Mkhitaryan to the Bundesliga, however the reports in Bild appear to have been a re-hashing of an earlier attempt by the Champions League finalists to prize the highly rated attacking midfielder from Shakhtar, their €23m bid having been rejected some time ago. The leaked story looks to have served its purpose though, by prompting Liverpool to act decisively in hammering out a deal good enough to finally land their target.
With personal terms believed to have been, at the very least, discussed, if not already agreed, there would appear to be little remaining which could scupper the proposed deal at this late stage.
With that in mind, it seems more than likely that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be officially unveiled as a Liverpool player by Wednesday at the very latest.

I will only believe it when LFC announce it, looks promising though!!!
“various news reports in Russia and the UK”
Not ONE UK media outlet has reported this. So please show us the evidence of such.
There’s been several UK reports (including this one) based on the Russian sources which makes sense since the guy plays in the Ukraine. These reports say LFC will announce when he takes his medical maybe as early as tomorrow….Anticipation!!!!!
YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE…
BR plz get diz deal done, diz guy is a genius on d ball & will make greater impact in LFC’s BR incredible style of play.
Kudoz! BR…
Proudly to be a Red. Good signing of great quality. YNWA.

I don’t see you featuring sturridge and your approach is very similiar to barca operating without a out and out striker
Too many changes bro and Sturridge definitely needs to be there!!!
I tink d omission of sturidge will be a great 1 cus i believe he can take us dere and reina out,nt a gud 1 even enrique and skrtel shld stay put
good news
We can’t just let the spuds beat us to this very transfer, as it will be a vindication of sidgursson’s last summer statement and the continuation{or is it still the beginning} of the end of our top four ambition. Myikihtanryan, Paulinho, Villa & BALE!!! OMG
we need benteke
proud to be a liverpool fan. good signing by liverpool of a good nd talented player
BR bring him to the best club in england LIVERPOOL. Sign WANYAMA, WILLIAMS, ILORI. Realese ENRIQUE, SHELVEY, REINA, WISDOM. Keep us our goal machine SUAREZ, DOWNING, SUSO, STERLING, YESIL, PACHECO. Consider me BR.
Good newz let’s hope its true.then let’s go 4 wanyama,sakho n vila.then we r ready.
You’re out of luck on Sakho as we have no interest in him according to the club mouthpiece (Echo). Furthermore Villa to Spurs is a done deal and why would we want Wanyama? At £12 million for a player who plays in a league the standard of league one there are better alternatives out there
This Russian source revealed this 3 days ago so congratulations on the original piece of writing, it’s pathetic what you people will do to get published. Like I said 3 days ago so where’s the confirmation in fact whens the ‘proper’ British press even going to pick up on the story? The only way I will believe this story is when I see photographic proof that mkhitaryan has signed. YNWA
So true!
YNWA…… Good signings so far!!!!!! We really need Ashly Williams and Christian Benteke
I hav heard dis several times, stil yet d guy hasn’t landed. I dnt tink we ar serious abt dis bid, coz if really we ar” dis deal wuld had bin finalised since even b4 spurz nd bvb became interestd in him. My greatest plead is 2 BR: pls stop being dull nd act fast, nt showing up when it comes 2 signin smal boys….
This is old news. I read it on friday.
Hmmmm! What else can we say about this, only to pray that it shall come to pass in favor of liverpool. Amen.
what will trouble me is if we allow any more stupid loan deals with our players still lingering around at the club and then having to come back and once again get rid of the dead wood!!!!!
Please can Spearing, Shelvey, Assaidi all leave and you can let Coates go also.
Assaidi can go for even just 1.5 mill, id snap your hands of for that, and that’s his wages gone to.
Shelvey seems more in love with twitter then his football and that and going round blue water shopping center looking like a complete prat, i should now i bumped into him and told he is a *.
Coates is not going to cut it, bring in Aldweireld for not much more, never mind Ilori we need better, coates is not good enough at all. id take even 4 mill just to get his wages of the books to.
Spearing, talk of bloody loan deal, not a chance sell him even if its to free up space and his wages to, he is average at best but because he is a local kid fans think that’s ok, not a hells chance with him is he good enough for us. id take 2 mill and his wages gone !!!!
get these sales done asap.
then downing, possibly skrtel for a senior choice center back and then even reina?
Great!
another over rated foreigner arriving. i can barely contain my excitement
Go support somebody else then… blue nose
Tello??
