Mesut Ozil's agent has insisted that the Arsenal midfielder will not leave the Emirates until 2021.
The former German international has been linked with a departure from Arsenal of late as Fenerbahce continue to be associated with the player in rumours round-ups.
The 31-year-old starred early on during his Arsenal career after making the switch from Real Madrid in 2013 but in recent seasons he has become a much-maligned figure.
He was left out in the cold by previous boss Unai Emery and whilst Mikel Arteta has welcomed him back into the fold, he is no longer a starman despite his hefty salary.
Ozil's contract at Arsenal runs until next summer and his agent, Dr Erkut Sogut, has explained that the playmaker will stay with the Gunners until then before leaving on a free transfer.
“At the moment, we don’t even talk about it, because he still has one-and-a-half-years left,” Sogut told i News.
“He still has 15 months to go. Until then, he will stay at Arsenal, for sure. He will stay until the end of his contract. There’s no chance he’ll leave.
“He is going into the end of this contract, he will be 32 years old, he will be a free agent, and it's not a bad situation.
“And he will have probably a hundred million followers on the social media side at that time, his marketing will be bigger by that time.
“And he's 32 so he can still go and play in top-level football for the next two or three years."
On what could be next for Ozil after 2021, Sogut added: “I look at every option, I need to maximise and get the best contract for him.
“The options are coming in now. Maybe he will stay and have a new contract with Arsenal.
"Maybe he has a good end to the season and good next season and the club offers him a new contract. It’s down to the club in the end, not to me or Mesut.
“If the club is not giving him an offer then he can’t stay. If he gets an offer from the club he will consider it.”
