Inter Milan signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan: I (and Mourinho) didn't want to leave Roma

Henrikh Mkhitaryan admits he's joined Inter Milan with mixed emotions.

The midfielder concedes he never wanted to leave Roma this summer as is contract ran down.

He said, “Lukaku, Dzeko and Darmian, my former teammates, had told me so much about this squad. I felt good from day one, part of a family.

“I was disappointed to leave Roma, I had three good years there and won a Conference League. However, everyone knows that football changes fast and at 33 I still want to win.

“Mourinho didn't want me to leave? Yes, that's true. Not only him, but also the club. In the end we couldn't reach an agreement, so I made the decision to leave.

“It was good for me and for Roma because now they got Dybala, I am very happy for them."
