As the Turkish outlet Sabah Spor reports that Mesut Ozil has in principle agreed a deal to leave Arsenal after Fenerbahce, some financial details emphasize that money is not everything for the playmaker …
Sabah Spor outlines that the 32-year-old also received an offer from DC United from the MLS, but the playmaker – who is Turkish decent – apparently turned it down to fulfill a Fenerbahce dream.
It is claimed that DC – The MLS site, which represents the US capital Washington – has offered Ozil shares in the club, the chance to form a pilot team, as well as a high salary.
Ozil has instead allegedly signed mainly a three and a half year contract with Fenerbahce, in which he will receive a staggering £ 263,000 a week wage cut from his mammoth deal at Arsenal.
The Gunners will be paying the superstar wage of £ 350,000 a week as we did through Sabah Spor in relation to the BBC described here, until the summer – if his contract with Arsenal had expired.

It is one real shame to see how the playmaker’s time at Arsenal has turned out. Since he put this marquee contract on paper in January 2018, it has been a disaster for the attacking midfielder.
