Arsenal and Liverpool target Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s agent claims Juventus can’t afford him

The agent of Arsenal and Liverpool target Henrikh Mkhitaryan has admitted his client would fit in perfectly at Juventus - but they could not afford him.

The Italian champions are on the hunt for an attacking midfielder this summer and having already been linked with the German duo of Mario Gotze and Julian Draxler.

But they have now reportedly switched their attention to Borussia Dortmund playmaker Mkhitaryan, who has previously attracted interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.

The 26-year-old's agent, Mino Raiola, has responded to the talk of a move to Turin by confessing his client would adapt well to life in Italy - but Serie A clubs may struggle to meet his asking price.

"He would definitely suit Juve and should be playing in a top 10 club," Raiola told Sport Mediaset.

"He could bring something extra to the Serie A, but I don't know whether Serie A can afford him."
