That is according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who reports that Mkhitaryan has received an “official proposal” to join Inter as a free agent.
The Roma star’s deal runs out in June and the inaugural Europa Conference League winners have offered him a new contract.
However, the versatile forward is “tempted” to move to the San Siro and talks between his representatives as well as the Nerazzurri are “ongoing”.
Inter are “confident” they can get the Armenia international in the summer transfer window.
Romano tweeted: “Inter have made an official proposal to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan on a free transfer.
“Talks ongoing – as he has also received an offer from AS Roma to extend current deal.
“Mkhitaryan’s tempted, Inter are now confident – waiting for final decision on his future.”
Mkhitaryan joined United from Borussia Dortmund in 2016 and amassed a total of 13 goals as well as 11 assists in 63 appearances.
The 33-year-old endured a run of poor form two years later and was sent out to Arsenal in exchange for Alexis Sanchez.
The Armenian registered nine goals and 13 assists in 59 matches while with the Gunners and was loaned out to Roma in 2019
The ex-Shakhtar Donetsk star earned a permanent contract at the Olimpico a year later and so far counts 29 goals as well as 28 assists in 117 games for the Giallorossi.
