Barcelona are regarded as favourites for Werder Bremen star Mesut Ozil.

The Germany international has already lit up the World Cup in South Africa with his performance against Australia.

Ozil has just over a year left on his Werder deal and is wanted by the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

However, itasportpress.it says the youngster has confessed an ambition to play for Barca and with Lionel Messi.
