Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil has been frozen out of the starting eleven. He has not played a single minute since the 2019-20 season resumed after the Coronavirus break.
Ozil was starting to gain his place in the Arsenal team as he started ten matches prior to the Coronavirus break but since then he has fallen down the pecking order.
The German midfielder has made 254 appearances for Arsenal since joining in 2013 from Real Madrid. He has scored 44 goals and provided 77 assists.
Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr wants to sign Ozil this summer. According to Fanatik, Al Nassr are promising the 31-year-old an annual salary of €17m per year, which matches his current wages at Arsenal.
Apart from the high wages, Al Nassr is ready to give Ozil a royal status in order to convince him to come to Saudi Arabia.
A source close to Al Nassr revealed: “We want to make him the new Prince of Saudi Arabia. We will not spare any sacrifices for this.”.
Last month, Ozil told the Athletic that he wants to see out the remainder of his contract at Arsenal.
He said: “Things have been difficult but I love Arsenal. I’ll decide when I go, not other people.”
“Situations like these only make me stronger. I showed in the past that I can come back into the team and I will show it again.”
But after this outrageous offer from the Saudi Arabian side, Ozil might be forced to change his decision.
