Ozil wearing Barcelona shirt?

(Baonghean.vn) - According to information from Don Balon, the Camp Nou team is planning to recruit midfielder Ozil from Arsenal in the upcoming winter transfer window (January 2018).

Despite an impressive start to this season, coach Valverde is still not confident about the team's personnel situation.

The expensive contract Dembele just joined has had to sit out for a long-term injury, Suarez is not in good form, Iniesta and Rakitic are also clearly declining...

The burden on Barcelona's attack still depends heavily on Messi's excellence. If they don't quickly bring in a quality star to share the burden with Messi, the risk of Barcelona running out of steam at the end of the season is not small.

The top option that the Camp Nou team's management is targeting is Liverpool midfielder Coutinho. During the summer transfer window, Barcelona continuously sent offers to Anfield but were all resolutely rejected.

Faced with Liverpool's tough move, President Bartomeu and his associates were forced to switch to plan B. The stars narrowed down by Barcelona's leadership include: Fekir (Lyon), Eriksen (Tottenham) and Ozil (Arsenal).

Besides, Ozil's transfer price is also quite cheap. His contract with Arsenal will officially expire at the end of this season. Barcelona is completely proactive in forcing down the price of the London team, unlike the case of Coutinho. As long as the Camp Nou team seriously negotiates with Arsenal, the deal will likely be successful. Instead of losing for free or watching Ozil join rival Man Utd (a team that also wants to recruit Ozil).

In the past, the "Catalan giant" has succeeded in the deals of Henry, Fabregas... There is no reason why they cannot bring Ozil away from the Emirates Stadium. The German player himself also wants to leave Arsenal as soon as possible. The contract negotiation process between Ozil and the "gunners" is at a standstill when the two sides cannot find a common voice. Moreover, Arsenal's chance of winning the title this season is quite far away, making Ozil no longer motivated to stay at the Emirates Stadium.

In addition, the 29-year-old player often receives unfair criticism from Arsenal legends and fans. Choosing to leave is the wisest decision for Ozil to save his career to secure a place in the German national team at the 2018 World Cup, which has shown signs of faltering recently. What everyone cares about is whether Ozil wants to become a rival of Real Madrid. Don't forget, this player once refused to wear the shirt of his home team Turkey to serve the "German tank".

There is a very notable detail, if recruiting Ozil, Barcelona will be able to register this player for the next stage of the 2017/2018 Champions League. This is a big advantage for the star born in 1988 compared to Coutinho (Liverpool) and Eriksen (Tottenham). Because according to UEFA regulations, players who have played in the Champions League group stage will not be able to register for the knockout stage at another team in the same season. Thus, Ozil is eligible to play for Barcelona in the knockout round of the Champions League.

In short, if Barcelona calls earnestly, Ozil will definitely respond immediately. If the buyer and the person in need come, the deal will have a very high chance of success./.
