Mesut Ozil is reportedly only willing to leave Arsenal for Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona, and the Gunners have not yet given up hope of signing him to a new deal.
According to Ciaran Kelly in the Manchester Evening News, the sticking points over Ozil's new contract—his current deal expires next summer—are his request for a 30 per cent wage hike and his desire to wear the No. 10 shirt.
Recent reports had seemed to indicate that Ozil's time at the Emirates Stadium was definitely coming to an end as he had told his team-mates he would sign for United, per John Cross in the Mirror.
