Sky journos reporting United have made contact with Ozil reps. Fuk. But they havent agreed a fee with Madrid yet have they?

They'll just match ours.

Yup, longtime pundit for TV3 who broadcasts Champions League.

They cant even agree a fee with Everton, cant see them paying that much.

Kaka has rejoined Milan on a free?

I am told #MUFC definitely NOT in for Mesut Özil. Working hard on deals for Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera. #DeadlineDay

Said a few pages back that I don't think United have the financial appetite. That, and it's also clear that they're after a centre mid.

Hope that's true as I suspect Ozil's reluctance to leave Real might change if United were to enter the scene.
Ffs, what does he want to stay at Madrid for?? They don't want him, he should let go :angel:

His ego would take a hit I'm guessing.

United will certainly have to let Rooney go if they are interested in Ozil.

Hopefully the United rumour is just negotiating tactics from Özil's camp to get him on higher wages.

he works for sky germany as well and has a lot of contacts in germany.

. @JanAageFjortoft is very well connected to the relevant person in Özil camp. You can his word as gospel. Will come down purely to wages

SSN now saying Man Utd aren't in for Oezil 😆

fjortoft also said, last night, that we're interested in draxler. if ozil is a no go, i think we'll go all in for draxler.

Yeah, thats what every source seem to indicate now. Its us or Madrid, if PSG doesnt hop in with a cheeky £50m.

This is going to be fun.

Ironic that Tottenham leaving it this late to sell Bale means all other clubs who may have been interested in Ozil have already finished their business for the summer.

bbc and guardian confirm mancs definitely not in the ozil race.

come on dick and co
