Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is preparing to open talks with Barcelona.
The Sun says Barca are serious about swooping for the Arsenal star — giving Arsene Wenger a dilemma over cashing in during the January window.
Ozil, 29, can open talks with Barca on New Year's Day as his contract finishes in the summer.
And the German favours a move back to La Liga, where he played for Real Madrid before joining the Gunners.
Paris Saint-Germain are one of the few clubs that can afford the £330,000-a-week wages that come with getting him on a free at the end of the season.
Manchester United are also in the running for Ozil, with Fenerbahce admitting defeat in their ambitious attempts to take him to Turkey.
Barca view Ozil as an alternative to Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho after they tried to sign the Brazilian in a £114million deal, with another £20m-a-year in wages.
