Mesut
Ozil has finally addressed reports that have been constantly linking
him to a move from Arsenal to Manchester United in January during the
transfer window.
German playmaker, Mesut Ozil, is fuming over a
‘campaign’ to undermine him as an Arsenal player, and has reportedly
grown increasingly angry at flak being fired his way, as he told pals he
wants to set the record straight over his commitment to the club.
According to SunSport, the 29-year-old World Cup-winner has NOT had
talks about a new contract with Arsenal since March, has NOT told
anybody at the club he wants to join Manchester United and has  NOT
asked for £300k a week, as he fears he is the pawn in a game being
played over his intentions to stay.
A close friend of Ozil revealed: “Mesut has not had any contract
offer from Arsenal. There were talks about a modest pay rise last season
but all those talks ended in March. There’s been nothing since then.
“At the time there was uncertainty over Arsene Wenger’s future so the conversations stopped.
“He has not been offered £300,000 a week — in fact, he has no offers on the table from Arsenal or any other club.
“And he is not seeking to become the highest-paid player in the Premier League. That’s not his aim.”
Ozil could sign a pre-contract agreement with a European club from January 1st, then leave on a free next summer.
But Ozil’s friend insisted: “Mesut is adamant he has never spoken to any player about going to Manchester United.
“He has no idea if United want him but he wants to stay at Arsenal. Look, he just bought a new house in London.
“Mesut had been renting but he decided to buy a house because he both expects and wants to stay.
“But he is angry that people are briefing against him and feels
there seems to be some sort of campaign against him. His intention has
always been to remain at Arsenal.
“Mesut, though, does feel he is being isolated and kept in the dark.
He is worried that there is a game going on and he is left in the
middle of it.”
