Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has insisted that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not be leaving the club this summer.
The Armenia international enjoyed a productive first season at Signal Iduna Park but has only scored four goals for Dortmund this term.
Speculation has suggested that he could be on his way out at the end of the campaign, but Zorc has stressed that Mkhitaryan will be staying put.
"He still has a contract until 2017," he told Kicker. "We've never said that we want to sell him."
The 26-year-old attacking midfielder, who has previously been linked with Liverpool, cost Dortmund €30m (£21.8m) when he joined from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013.
