The Germany playmaker is yet to begin talks on a new contract with the north London club and the Champions League holders are keen to make him their star summer signing
Barcelona will attempt to make Mesut Ozil their headline summer signing and are prepared to offer Arsenal Arda Turan, Munir and Sandro in exchange, according to AS.
The Germany international has enjoyed his best season to date in the Premier League but has yet to begin talks on an extension to the contract he signed upon arriving in north London in August of 2013.
Ozil’s future has been the subject of some speculation in recent weeks but he appeared to downplay suggestions of a summer move when he took to Twitter earlier this week to deny that a rift between himself and Arsene Wenger could spark a summer exit.
In any case, a move to Barcelona could be complicated by a clause, previously reported by Football Leaks, that claims if Arsenal were to accept an offer for Ozil from a Liga side, the Gunners would subsequently be obliged to offer the Wold Cup winner to Real Madrid, his previous club, on the same terms.
