Juventus 'refuse to sign Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil for free in January'...despite the North London club offering to pay half of his £350,000-per-week salary

Juventus have turned down the opportunity to sign Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil for free in January.

Ozil is keen to leave Arsenal after he was left out of Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads at the start of the season.

However, the German attacking midfielder has been rejected by various European clubs.

The 32-year-old will reportedly take a wage cut of u00a3200,000-per-week to join the Turkish side

The Gunners have been desperate to shed Ozil's £350,000-per-week wages amid the financial ramifications of the pandemic.

Therefore, according to Tuttosport, both Arsenal and Ozil's agent, Erkut Sogut, have offered the former Real Madrid star to several European clubs.
