A resistance operation. This is what Mesut Özil, the once star of Arsenal, does every day, who no longer counts in the club for sport, but he does so on the payroll.
Özil was excluded from the first team by DT Mikel Arteta at the beginning of the current season and from that moment the battle of the German started (regretful, because he declares Turkish) not for the money but, as he said, for the respect. It doesn’t matter how much it costs you.
According to the transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, the Al-Nassr of Arabia offered Ozil a contract of 200,000 pounds sterling a week for three years, less than the 350 thousand that he receives today, and the answer was emphatic: “he said that no, he wants to stay in European football right now. He is happy at Arsenal. “
It is not the first time that he insists because, in an interview with The Athletics, he said: “I will decide when I leave, not other people. I did not sign for two or three years, I signed for four and that should be respected by everyone. Things obviously They have been difficult, but I love Arsenal, I love working there, I love the club people, the real people, who I have been with for a long time, and I love London, it is my home. “
He has not played since March and he will not do so for the year that remains on his contract, but he does not care. He would not have to worry because he earns 20 million euros a year, 400 thousand a week, more than 5 thousand a day … It is not bad to alleviate the lack of competition, at 32 years of age.
The team, on the other hand, does not know how to get rid of this enormous expense, but apparently it will have to arm itself with a lot of patience. Özil is not exactly a simple man for business.
