Arsenal are demanding £42.2million for Mesut Ozil to leave the club, with the German playmaker already holding talks with Fenerbahce.

The World Cup winner is heading into the last year of his contract at the Emirates and with Arsene Wenger’s side set to finish outside of the top four, his future is unclear at best.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce are interested in a deal for the 28-year-old but will struggle to pull off a deal due to Uefa’s financial fair play restrictions, according to Fotospor.

A similar issue is likely to arise in their pursuit of Fernandinho, with the Manchester City midfielder demanding a salary of £8.4m-a-year.

While Fenerbahce may not be able to pull off a deal for Ozil, other clubs around Europe may not be forced to baulk at the price tag put on the German’s head.

But given Ozil’s recent poor form, it’s perhaps unlikely that anyone would be willing to part with that amount of money.
