Henrikh Mkhitaryan in no rush to pen Borussia Dortmund contract extension

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's agent has played down talk of a contract extension for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder, sparking rumours of a potential summer move.

"Why should we extend now? Micki (Mkhitaryan) still has a contract until 2017 and we'll continue thinking about his future after that," Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola told German daily Bild.

With Dortmund's captain Mats Hummels having already signed for rivals Bayern Munich next season, Dortmund have been trying to tie down Mkhitaryan and Ilkay Gundogan, who is tipped to join Manchester City, on long-term deals.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke refused to comment on the situation with Mkhitaryan.

The Armenian international has had a stellar season at Dortmund, scoring 18 goals and creating another 20 in all competitions, as Borussia finished second only to Bayern in the Bundesliga.

Aubameyang talk 'nonsense'

Borussia Dortmund dismiss Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang exit talk

The 27-year-old netted a hat-trick for Armenia on Sunday in their 7-1 victory over Guatemala, and had a hand in six of their goals, with their next international on Thursday against El Salvador.

Raiola reportedly wants a double exit clause put into Mkhitaryan's contract allowing him to leave if current coach Thomas Tuchel departs or if there is an offer from a top club.

Hummels became the latest to leave Dortmund for rivals Bayern this summer, following in the footsteps of Mario Gotze and Robert Lewandowski.

Dortmund's top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is also a target for several European clubs although Watzke labelled recent reports over his imminent transfer as "nonsense" on Sunday.
