5 realistic destinations for Mesut Ozil 

#2 Barcelona

Ozil and Messi will certainly form an interesting combination

Barcelona have been linked with Coutinho in the last few months, but with Liverpool reluctant to sell him, the Catalan giants could turn their attention towards Arsenal and former Real Madrid star Mesut Ozil. The Catalan giants are desperate to sign a proven world class playmaker as a long-term replacement to Andres Iniesta and the 29-year-old could prove to be an ideal addition to the Blaugrana squad.

The recent rumour mill has also been abuzz with the fact that Arda Turan could be offered as a makeweight in the January transfer window and Arsenal could be tempted to cut their losses and let go off the German star.

Ozil, of course, had a hugely successful 3-year-spell at Real Madrid and it will be interesting to see how the fans react if the German does indeed decide to play for Barcelona in the coming months.
