Mesut Ozil: Juventus reject opportunity to sign Arsenal midfielder ‘due to poor performances and off-pitch conduct’
Juventus have rejected the opportunity to sign Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil, according to reports.Ozil is expected to leave the Emirates in the coming months, with Unai Emery, the Arsenal manager, reportedly ready to cash in on him as soon as January.1

Ozil has not made an appearance for Arsenal in over a month

The 30-year-old is clearly not part of Emery’s plans moving forward, and his decision to reduce Ozil’s role has been widely praised with Arsenal currently enjoying a 20-match unbeaten run in all competitions.Inter Milan have been linked with Ozil already, but the player’s entourage have also approached Juventus over a potential deal with under a month to go until the transfer window reopens.However, according to Calciomercato, the perennial Serie A champions ‘immediately declined’ the offer.

• Selling Mesut Ozil in January is a no brainer for Arsenal, says Vinnie Jones
• Piers Morgan: ‘If sick-note Mesut Ozil leaves in January, no Arsenal fan would shed a tear
• Aaron Ramsey has every right to demand the same wages as Mesut Ozil

It is reported Juventus chiefs do no want to sign Ozil due to ‘the dizzying fall of Mesut’s performances on the field, but also his unedifying conduct off the field in recent months’.Ozil’s attitude has been questioned over the past couple of weeks, with him missing the north London derby due to an alleged back injury, which Emery knew little about.

Would you rather have Dennis Suarez as a backup for Mkhi and Iwobi - and maybe taking their places in the starting lineup or giving ESR and Nelson more minutes with the first team ? I'd go with the second option. The money which would go into his signing should be used in someone who would make a bigger impact on the starting 11.
