Arsenal may find themselves unable to convince Mesut Ozil to sign a new contract at the club following reports he wants to be level with the Premier League's top earners. Elsewhere, Liverpool star Roberto Firmino has a clause in his contract preventing him from joining the Gunners.
James Olley of the London Evening Standard reported both Ozil and Alexis Sanchez want "parity" with Manchester United star Paul Pogba, who earns a whopping £290,000 per week at Old Trafford.
However, the north Londoners' wage structure means they're unlikely to match such an astronomical figure, which is more than twice the £140,000-a-week wages Ozil—Arsenal's highest-paid player—is paid.
