Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil looking for a way out of the Emirates stadium has been extensively covered by the German and Spanish media. Both the presses have been pushing stories regarding Ozil’s move to Barcelona.
Arsenal and Barcelona will be playing against each other next week in the Champions League first knockout round, and hence the talks of meeting will surely crop up here and there.
Bild claims that Barcelona will officially enquire regarding the availability of the playmaker to the Gunners, next week.
While Spanish media is pushing the idea of Ozil moving to the Spanish club, German media contacted Spanish football expert Ben Hayward regarding the prospect of Ozil moving to Barcelona. According to Hayward the German International will find it tough to fit into the Barca’s intense game, with the manager being fitness fanatic who expects a lot of physical activity from the players.
Ozil, whose fitness was often questioned while he was at Real Madrid, may have addressed the issue during his time at Arsenal. However, one cannot be sure how the player will fare in Barcelona.
