How long ago was this?kharma45 said:I read today in a few papers that negotiations between him and both Real and Barcelona had broken down as he couldn't be promised regular first team football.
That makes perfect sense, but just last night the Barça media was reporting that Ozil is close to signing.
In Spanish: http://sport.es/default.asp?idpublicacio_PK=44&idioma=CAS&idnoticia_PK=723637&idseccio_PK=803
The negotiations, being carried out in the strictest discretion, seem to have come to fruition and the long-awaited arrival of a midfielder could be realized in Mesut Ozil.
[edit] Oh, and I'm not familiar with sport.es so it's very possible that they're just full of complete shit. "seem to have", "could be" and other qualifiers are littered all over the article.
