Pal: Only 3 clubs Ozil will quit Arsenal for; he's always talking to Mourinho

Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil will only consider one other club to play for in England.

Off contract in June, the Manchester Evening News says Manchester United have not made a move for Mesut Ozil - but are one of three clubs the Germany star would be willing to leave Arsenal for, according to a source close to the player.

Ozil currently earns £154,000-a-week and wants that sum increased by 30% to £202,000-a-week. He also wants the club's No.10 shirt, which is currently assigned to Jack Wilshere.

It is understood Ozil would leave Arsenal for just three clubs - United, Barcelona and Real Madrid - and he would not be interested in a move to Italy or Turkey.

"I know he is always in contact with (Jose) Mourinho because he likes him. He thinks he is the best coach he every played for. He has a special relationship with him," revealed the source.
