An update on Mesut Ozil’s future

Mesut Ozil was quite shockingly left out of the 20/21 Premier League squad for Mikel Arteta’s first full campaign, and there have been rumours regarding the German’s departure ever since. 

One of the rumours linked Ozil with Juventus, who already have an abundance of exciting talents in midfield with the likes of Adrien Rabiot, Arthur, Aaron Ramsey and Weston Mckennie all battling it out for minutes on the pitch. 

Those rumours were squashed by Fabrizio Romano on his Here We Go podcast on Patreon as he mentioned that the Bianconeri were not in contact with Ozil, nor his agent. 

The Italian transfer guru went on to say that a possible move to MLS could be on the cards for the playmaker if any American club officially submits a bid to sign him. A possible transfer to Turkey can also happen since the league has a reputation for being the destination in case of many ageing players. 

Ozil’s agent is still working to find a solution for the problem, according to Romano. Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has been unclear regarding Ozil’s future at the club while talking about the player. Here is what the Arsenal boss had to say:

“We will see what happens in the transfer window and we will assess that at the end,” Arteta said.

“You have to respect the player’s contract,” he continued.

“What you can do is try to be open with them and tell them your intentions, the role they have in the team and why that is.

“At the end, they are entitled to make the decision in their lives because they have a contract here.

“Some would like to move because they are not playing, and some would like to stay.

“At the end that is something we cannot decide.”

Ozil has been very clear about his love for the club and the fact that he would stay if he had the choice. However, the Gunners are still trying to offload their number 10, as well as his £350,000 wages from their books.
