Jose Mourinho is ready to launch a spectacular bid to bring Mesut Ozil to Manchester United next summer if he fails to agree a new contract with Arsenal.
Ozil has been in fine form for the Gunners this season, scoring seven times in 13 appearances, but Mourinho, who managed the Germany international at Real Madrid will attempt to take advantage of any breakdown in contract talks, according to the Sun.
Ozil reportedly earns £140,000-a-week, making him Arsenal’s highest earner on a deal that runs until 2018. But the Sun suggests he would be offered £250,000-a-week by United, way in excess of the £200,000-a-week on offer from Arsenal.
However, a deal is some way off with United accepting they would have to wait until next summer with nothing likely to be agreed in January.
