Arsene Wenger rejects Bayern Munich approach for Mesut Ozil
Pep Guardiola made a move to try and sign Ozil for Bayern over the summer, but Wenger knocked back the approach as their offer was lower than the £42.4m the North Londoners paid for the attacking midfielder in 2013, according to El Confidencial.
Guardiola is understood to be a big fan of the 25-year-old and tried to sign him for FC Barcelona before the playmaker chose Real Madrid instead.
If Ozil had have been sold it would have paved the way for Cesc Fabregas to return to the Emirates Stadium, something many fans probably would have preferred.
