#1 Mesut Ozil to Barcelona/Manchester United
Apart from Alexis, Mesut Ozil is another Arsenal player who has only a few more months left on his contract. He will be free to discuss a contract with clubs over a transfer come January. He has so far shown very little desire to sign a contract extension and a transfer is on the cards.
Manchester United and Barcelona are leading the race to sign the German international with Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho reportedly seeking a reunion with the former Real Madrid midfielder. Mourinho sees him as the solution to his midfield that is lacking creativity, as Henrikh Mkhitaryan has failed to live up to expectations.
On the other hand, Barcelona thinks of him as a cheaper alternative to Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool have refused to sell the Brazilian while Arsenal cannot stop Ozil from a move.
The German has also expressed his desire to win the Champions League and since Arsenal cannot guarantee that, he is most likely to leave in the winter. Else Arsenal risk letting him go for free.
