Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has admitted that he did not want star midfielder Mesut Ozil to leave the club , instead he wanted to stay at Real Madrid.

Ozil , Gunners’ record- signing has been in brilliant form and has 4 assists under his belt in as many games for the north London club and many have criticized Real Madrid’s lapse of judgement in selling such an important player.

Perez said, “Not everyone fits at Real Madrid. The departure of Sneijder led to the same kind of discussion.It’s difficult as not everyone can play.”

He further continued, “Ozil left because he wanted to. In truth he told us he wanted to leave and we had a good supply [of midfielders].

“If he had wanted to, he would have stayed here.”

Ozil has led Arsenal to the top of the Premier League and the Champions League table.
