Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is prepared to sell Mesut Ozil in January.
With the midfielder refusing to back down over his new contract demands, Arsenal face losing him for nothing in June.
However, Sky Sports says Wenger has given his approval for Ozil to be sold in the winter market.
Arsenal are now inviting offers for the Germany international, hoping to sell for £20m.
Ozil has been linked with Barcelona and Manchester United, though sources close to his camp insist there's been little concrete interest in taking him off Arsenal's hands.
