Unlike Alexis Sánchez, who’s constantly surrounded by transfer rumors, Mesut Özil has remained unusually quiet. There has been little buzz from top European clubs about signing him, aside from early reports out of Turkey suggesting that Fenerbahçe showed some interest. Özil himself has also mentioned the possibility of returning to Schalke 04 someday, but aside from that, the rumor mill has stayed silent.

British media speculate that the slow but steady progress on Özil’s contract renewal may be linked to Arsenal’s new legal chief, Huss Fahmy. Appointed in early June, Fahmy is a former legal negotiator for Team Sky cycling and was brought in specifically to speed up the club’s contract talks. Since his arrival, he has reportedly begun direct contact with Özil’s representatives.

Now, one key action by Özil is being interpreted as a major hint that he plans to stay. The German star has renewed his personal VIP box at the Emirates Stadium. According to English media, this move strongly suggests he sees his future with the Gunners. After months of stalled negotiations and growing uncertainty, this decision could mark a turning point.

Contract talks with Özil have been a thorny issue for Arsenal throughout the summer. The club and player have been locked in discussions for weeks without final agreement. However, renewing his luxury box — a premium facility reserved for close friends and family — sends a clear message: Özil is preparing for another season in North London. After all, people don’t reserve seats unless they plan to use them.

The news arrives during a summer already buzzing with sporting headlines, including the ongoing thrill of Live Cricket BPL. Just as fans track football stars like Özil, they also follow their favorite teams in the Live Cricket BPL, where the excitement never stops. With both football and cricket heating up, sports fans around the world have plenty to cheer for.
