Are Borussia Dortmund bracing themselves for the imminent loss of Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United?

The Mirror thinks they could be, because they are readying themselves to make another move for Bayer Leverkusen's Karim Bellarabi.

Last week, reports in Germany suggested Dortmund were open to selling attacking midfielder Mkhitaryan, who registered 23 goals and 32 assists in all competitions last term, if a club offered at least £32 million.

Now ESPN FC's German football expert Raphael Honigstein reports that a BVB official has travelled to Manchester, with the move almost wrapped up.
