Mesut Ozil to Barcelona: La Liga giants “agreed” three-year deal with Arsenal contract-rebel & Man United target

Manchester United have suffered a blow in the race to sign Arsenal star playmaker Mesut Ozil.

The 29-year-old has been linked with an exit from the north London-based club after failing to pen a new deal. Ozil has under seven months remaining on his contract with Arsenal and could end up leaving the club for free next summer.

According to Catalunya Radio, Barcelona have already held talks with Ozil’s agent, Dr Erkut Sogut, and a three-and-a-half-year contract has now been agreed.

Per the source, Arsenal are prepared to accept a £17 million offer for their star playmaker.

Manchester United have also been linked with a move for Ozil in recent weeks. The 29-year-old has a strong relationship with Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho.

The news will devastate Arsenal fans who watched Ozil put in a Man of the Match performance against Tottenham.
