The Germany playmaker has courted interest from a number of clubs and his current deal at the Emirates Stadium expires in the summer
Arsenal finally opened talks with Mesut Ozil’s representative last month over a contract extension but the German star has yet to make a decision on his future, Goal understands.
The Gunners are confident that Ozil will not sign a pre-contract with a foreign club in January, with Alexis Sanchez and Jack Wilshere in the same position as their contracts also expire in the summer.
Talks over a renewal for Ozil were put on hold back in February last year due to the uncertainty surrounding manager Arsene Wenger’s own contract situation. However, when the Frenchman renewed his deal by a further two years at the end of May, there was no decision taken to resume talks with any of the aforementioned trio.
The club didn't put their first formal offer on the table to Ozil's representative until December - a delay of almost 10 months - while Wilshere has also yet to be offered a contract , despite Wenger claiming there is a difference in financial terms between club and player.
