Ozil Ready To Go First

LONDON: Mesut Ozil will offer Arsenal a chance to release him this month – by splitting his remaining contract for the next three years.

Ozil has the option to leave the Emirates in the transfer window this time, but the Gunners will have to pay the balance of his six-month contract with a salary as high as 350,000 pounds a week.

The World Cup winner did not want to sacrifice his remaining salary of 8.75 million pounds for Arsenal to release him even though he is now the target of Fenerbahce and DC United.

But Sunsport understands he is ready to help the team.

It is by way of reducing the weekly wage to 68,000 pounds until the summer of 2023.

Although they had to pay Ozil’s salary for a period of two and a half years, it could reduce the player’s salary commitment by 1.2 million pounds a month.

With the English Premier League (EPL) team severely affected following COVID-19, the long-term payment may be an attractive offer to the team.

Another option is to offer money for the remaining six months because otherwise he would prefer to stay until the summer.
