Manchester United have submitted a new and improved bid for Dortmund attacker Mkhitaryan, but the German club have not reached a conclusion as to the player's future.
The 27 year old has made it clear he wants to join United through his agent Raiola, who has been busy negotiating a deal.
Dortmund initially were reluctant to negotiate, preferring to keep the player who has only one year left in his current deal, and is not ready to sign another.
Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club will asses the situation this week.
"We will assess his situation this week. We not only need to discuss it with Michael Zorc and Thomas Tuchel, but also with the bodies," Watzke told German magazine Kicker, via Talksports.
"It is a difficult decision.
"There are three perspectives with every transfer: An economic, a strategic and a sporting.
"If the economic side becomes overwhelming it might happen that you make a different decision in the end."
There have been widespread news that the club had reached an agreement with United for the player.
The winger was one of Dortmund's best players last season. He contributed 18 goals and 20 assists to the team's course last season.
He sure looks like a real deal for United. And with United's lack of experience on the wings, he will fit in almost perfectly into Mourinho's new setup.
