Barça approaches ozil: Barça sends the first offer (and gets a player)

It is real. Barça is really going for Mesut Özil ahead of the winter transfer market. The 'operation Coutinho' is complicated with each passing day, and in the Camp Nou they like German a lot considering that they can leave for a much lower price and that they could play the Champions League in this edition. 

In fact, the azulgrana set has already sent the first offer to Arsenal by the former Real Madrid. The Catalans are planning to put a player in the transfer to lower even more the figure. The chosen one would be André Gomes. 

With the Portuguese and taking into account that Özil ends contract next summer, Barca would not offer more than 20 million. The German can leave for free in a few months because he finishes contract, so the 'Gunners' must choose between the offer azulgrana or not receive absolutely nothing. 

Özil wins integers and every time he likes more, and if the Arsenal accepts the first offer he will be chosen to reinforce the core of the team of Ernesto Valverde ahead of Philippe Coutinho, for which Liverpool asks 150 million.
