BBC: Mkhitaryan Anfield bound? Jun 17th 2013, 11:34 This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club. Liverpool are pushing ahead with plans to make Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan their major summer signing. The 24-year-old is understood to have a £20m release clause in his contract with Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk. Liverpool have indicated they are willing to meet that figure. Anfield officials are aware there may be competition for Mkhitaryan, who scored 25 league goals for Shakhtar last season, but are optimistic he can be persuaded to move to Liverpool. Manager Brendan Rodgers sees Mkhitaryan, who has also been linked with Juventus and Borussia Dortmund, as a key element of his plans to add extra firepower to his side next season. Liverpool are also in discussions with Sunderland for goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. They have offered £8m and, while Sunderland are currently holding out for £10m, the move is fully expected to go through. Rodgers has also signed Manchester City defender Kolo Toureand a deal in principle for Celta Vigo forward Iago Aspas has been announced.
