Mesut Ozil's agent has revealed that the player could move from Arsenal to Fenerbahce this month.
The German international has six months remaining on his current deal with the Gunners and is free to speak to foreign clubs as a result.
Fenerbahce are among the many teams being closely linked with the 32-year-old who has admitted he is a supporter of the 28-time Turkish champions.
And now speaking to BeIn Sport TR the player's agent Dr. Erkut Sogut has admitted there is a possibility that the deal could go ahead this month.
"Of course I can’t say too much about this right now because of confidentiality. Even if I want to I couldn’t say too much about this. But everybody knows a bit," he said.
"There is a short period of time left on Mesut Ozil’s contract. In the summer this contract will finish as everyone knows.
"At the moment Mesut is free to talk to any club he likes. English rules dictate that you can talk to any club once you get into the final six months of your contract. We’re doing this at the moment. We’re in this process.
"At the moment Mesut can sign a new contract with whichever club he likes. He’s free and he’s free to do that. We are doing this and of course Arsenal football club knows this.
"Within this there are two alternatives. Either we stay until the end of the season and leave later, or after striking a deal we will leave in January.
"Basically, there are two options. Both sides appreciate this and obviously both sides need to be happy to strike a deal. Mesut has been working here for nearly eight years. And because of that these things don’t get sorted in one or two days unfortunately.
"They are going to be handled correctly and professionally. Hopefully between both sides, especially for us and Mesut, no matter what it can be sorted as soon as possible."
In a wide ranging interview that covered Ozil's desire to expand his personal brand in similar manner to Cristian Ronaldo and to create soccer schools around the world Sogut later went on to comment on how likely he thinks it is that an agreement will be reached this month.
"If he comes to Turkey then he will play for Fenerbahce God willing," he said. "Mesut has always said this. Let me tell you he has told me ‘in my football career I am going to play for Fernebahce.’
"I’ve been working with him for eight years and we’ve touched on this topic a few times and Mesut always said, ‘one day I’m going to play ball for Fenerbahce.’
"Like I said, I can’t give you a percentage. As I said a little earlier this is a process. While we’re in the process we have to consider every possibility.
"To say that something has happened or won’t happened would be wrong. Until the contract has been signed we can’t say anything is finished.
"And because of that before we have signed our name on the contract no one can say this deal is finished. At the last moment unbelievable things can come up.
"Let me put it this way, if it’s good it will happen, but if it’s not good then it won’t happen."
