Ozil accepts massive pay-cut ahead of Fener move

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has agreed a massive pay-cut on his £350,000-a-week wages to make the switch to Fenerbahce.

The German recently agreed to terminate his Gunners contract and he is expected to join Fenerbahce in the next 24 hours.

Ahead of the move, AS report that Ozil has agreed a significant pay-cut and will earn only £67,300-a-week with the Istanbul giants.

However, the 32-year-old has various performance bonuses in his deal while he will be guaranteed £445,000, if Fenerbahce win the Super Lig title.

Ozil is expected to wear the number 67 shirt during the backend of the season. The number represents the the town where his grandparents are from.

The experienced playmaker did not play any part for the Gunners during the first half of the campaign after being excluded from the Premier League and Europa League squads.

Despite his exclusion, he had actively supported the team on social media and recently revealed that he has been working hard on the training ground to keep himself fit.
