Mesut Ozil is one of the best playmakers in the world at the moment. The German's vision and his ability to pick a pass make him the one of the best in the world at the moment, if not the best. The midfielder is one of the highest paid players in the Premier League now and is Arsenal's record highest paid player.
The German midfielder though does not cover ground quick and do defensive duties that the Emery system demands each player to do. This has seen the former Real Madrid man being left out of the matchday squad for the last couple of matches.
The five German player of the year though is a key player when playing against clubs outside the bug 6 with his ability to produce magical passes. With all that in view and Emery's reluctance to play Ozil in the big matches, let's look at three clubs that Mesut Ozil can join if he decides to leave Arsenal.
#3 Paris Saint Germain
Paris Saint Germain has been dominating the French Ligue since the Qatar Sports Investments took over the French club. The Parisians have won an impressive 5 Ligue 1, 4 Coupe de France and 5 Coupe de la Ligue in the last 6 years. The reigning French champions have started off this season in a much better fashion than the previous ones earning 44 points from a possible 48.
It has been the European crown that the French club has been seeking, spending world record transfer fees for securing the services of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The last season though, the plan backfired as the Parisians were knocked out by eventual champions Real Madrid.
The addition of Ozil, one of the best players in the world at his position, will only add more quality to an already star-studded squad. With the financial backing that PSG has the salary for the German is not an issue for the manager.
Ozil can either be selected in the starting line-up ahead of Veratti or can be employed in matches that require a genius touch to unlock an unbreakable defensive setup.
With the addition of Ozil, Neymar can actually be relieved of all the pressure and expectation that is thrust upon the Brazilian to perform magically in each and every match.
The possibility of winning a piece of silverware in each and every season is something that might tempt the German to join the French club.
#2 Inter Milan
Gone are the days when Inter Milan was one of the teams that were touted to challenge for the Champions League. Nowadays the Blue and Black striped team from Milan find themselves out of the Premier European competition and into the Europa League.
The lack of quality in the midfield has been quite evident for the Nerazzurri for the past couple of years. The fact that no player from the midfield has provided more than 2 assists in this entire season shows how poor the Inter Milan midfield lacks quality. The Italians had unsuccessfully tried to bring the 2018 Balon d'Or winner Luka Modric in the summer upon understanding this fact.
The onus has been upon the club captain and 25-year old Mauro Icardi to produce the goals when his team was down and out for the count. The Argentine has been responsible for producing almost 75% of the goal scored by Inter Milan this season with little help from his teammates on the goal scoring front.
Mesut Ozil though can provide an immediate difference to the Mauro Icadi dependent team. The German has the tools to unlock any defence with his vision, uncanny eye for a pass and his ability to set up his teammates.
Provided with proper defensive back up the German can produce those moments of genius reducing the workload of the Argentine and providing the balls at his platter just like the time Ozil enjoyed with Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid.
The 2014 World Cup winner has also added goal scoring to his already impressive bag of talents with 41 goals, almost twice the amount of goals in his previous clubs, during his Arsenal career.
The German midfielder can also become the first player to top the assist charts in the German, English, Spanish and the Italian league if he chooses to switch country and join the Nerazzurri.
#1 Real Madrid
A trip back to one of his former clubs might be just what the German might need to revitalize his career. It was during the 3 seasons at the Los Blancos that made the German midfielder a household name in the World.
The midfielder enjoyed La Liga, breaking a 3-year old Barcelona stranglehold of the league, Supercopa de Espana and Copa del Rey success during his stay but was not a part of the team that won the Champions League the very next season.
The Los Blancos, on the other hand, are on the lookout for players possessing that genius touch after a poor start to the season that saw Julen Lopeteui being sacked after an embarrassing defeat to Barcelona.
The new man Santiago Solari seems to have problems with the Isco, the man who is now the attacking playmaker in the Real Madrid line up. The rumours of Isco wanting a move away from the 13-time Champions League winners might prompt the Los Blancos to go in search of someone like Ozil who can produce those moments of brilliance in the final third that can help the other players score those vital goals.
This Real Madrid line-up though has much more steel and defensive back up than his previous Real Madrid team with Casemiro providing the much-needed defensive backline. Ozil maybe also slotted in for the 2018 Balon d'Or winner Luka Modric who has had a rather poor start to this season.
The lure of possible Champions League winners medal and the likelihood of the Club World Cup medal might tempt the German magician to once again move to the Spanish capital in search of first team status.
