Mesut Ozil Wants To Leave Arsenal For Another Premier League Club

Just like Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil's Arsenal contract is also expiring at the end of the season, with the midfielder heavily linked with a move away from the club.

And it appears he wants to join another Premier League outfit.

Ozil remains in a contract standoff with Arsenal, as he's reportedly demanded a £250,000-a-week contract. Though he's keen to run down his contract, making him a free agent in the summer.

Ozil a free agent will no doubt attract plenty of interest. But it seems like he's got his sights set on a shock move to Manchester United, which would see him reunite with Jose Mourinho.

According to The Mirror, Ozil wants to join United in the summer. He enjoyed a spell at Real Madrid under Mourinho's management before securing his transfer to Arsenal.

What's more, the report adds that the German international has already contacted United through his representatives.

Mourinho is keen on coaching Ozil at Old Trafford, with the Portuguese hoping to get the green light from the United board.

However, United will have to fend off competition from around Europe. The 28-year-old playmaker is also attracting interest from Serie A side Inter Milan who continue to monitor his situation.

Despite Inter's desire, it's believed that Ozil wants to remain in England and prefers a switch to United who have 'a realistic chance of winning major trophies' per Mirror.

It could be a disastrous summer for the Gunners. Not only could they lose Ozil, but it also seems like Sanchez's days in North London are numbered.

He continues to dominate the transfer rumours mills with a reported move to Manchester City on the cards.
