Mesut Ozil Drops Hint About Arsenal Future After Renewing Emirates Hospitality Suite
Arsenal's star midfielder Mesut Ozil has perhaps made his future at the club a little clearer, after he renewed his hospitality suite at the Emirates.
The Gunners broke their transfer record when purchasing the German international for £42.5m from Real Madrid back in 2013. Ozil has now entered the final year of his contract, along with target man Alexis Sanchez and with both yet to sign an extended deal.
Arsenal have tried to tie the key duo down amid interest from a host of Europe's top clubs, by offering them £250,000-a-week contracts. However, the Daily Mail report that they have refused the deal as they look for closer to £300,000-a-week.
With the stars' futures remains clouded in doubt, the Sun report that Ozil's repayment for a corporate box at the Emirates is a statement of intent that he wants to stay.
Premier League club's can currently increase their wage budget by £7m each year but by giving Ozil and Sanchez their asking price they will be in danger of going over their budget.
The two attacking stars know that they have other options should they decide to leave Arsenal and are holding out to weigh up their options.
The delay is preventing boss Arsene Wenger from beginning his summer spending with Ex-Team Sky legal expert Huss Fahmy being brought in by the club to hurry the negotiations which have dragged on for more than a year, and he has already been in talks with players' agents.
While the Gunners failed to finish in the top four, Ozil's eight goals, 10 assists in 33 league appearances accompanied by Sanchez's 24 goals, 11 assists in 38 appearances would be sorely missed should they leave the club.
