According to reports in England, Barcelona are willing to offer Arsenal's Mesut Ozil £350,000-a-week to lure him away from north London.

Ozil's current Gunners deal expires next summer, meaning he will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from January 1.

With that, the ’Mirror’ claim Barcelona will offer him the huge figure to bring to the Nou Camp.

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho also remains keen on acquiring Ozil's services, but Spanish giants have the advantage of being able to offer the German World Cup winner a pre-contract agreement when the transfer window reopens in in the new year.

Manager Arsene Wenger was recently quizzed on the topic of Ozil leaving, to which he responded: 'No. What kind of control can I have over that?

'All these people have agents who can talk to anybody. That doesn't disturb people, that happens all through their career'.

Do you think Barcelona will tie Ozil down to a pre-contract agreement in January? Let us know in the comments.
