Mesut Ozil: Arsenal ready to offer £300,000-per-week contract to midfielder

Arsenal’s new offer is close to the £300,000-per-week which Ozil is looking for.

Arsenal are making a last-ditch attempt to keep midfielder Mesut Ozil by offering him a £300,000-per-week contract.

Ozil’s contract expires at the end of the season but talks over a contract extension have since broken down with reports linking him to a move to Manchester United and Barcelona.

The 29-year-old midfielder has impressed in recent weeks and the Gunners are making another attempt to persuade him to pen a new contract.

According to reports from England, Arsenal’s new offer is close to the £300,000-per-week which the Germany international is looking for.

If talks are successful, Ozil will be the highest earner in Arsenal’s history and will also be a big relief for Arsene Wenger who is resigned to losing Alexis Sanchez either for a fee in January or for free in the summer of 2018.

Ozil's Arsenal stint so far

Ozil joined Arsenal in the summer of 2013 and although he has been inconsistent, he has still managed to win three FA Cup titles with the Gunners.
