Fenerbahce are considering offering Mesut Ozil an escape route out of Arsenal this summer with manager Arsene Wenger prepared to listen to offers for the German international.

Ozil is yet to respond to Arsenal’s last new contract offer and Wenger’s patience is running out with the 28-year-old and Alexis Sanchez over their futures.

Just last month, Ozil, who was born to Turkish parents, travelled to Istanbul and was pictured out with former Miss Turkey Amine Gulse.

There have since been suggestions the pair plan to marry and that Ozil is ready to spend £5million on a mansion in Istanbul.

Fenerbahce could try to take advantage of Ozil’s apparent connection with Istanbul by launching a bid to take him to Turkey on a full-time basis.
