Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed the truth behind the transfer of Mesut Ozil in the Summer and he has admitted that the German international asked to leave after finding out he wasn’t going to be a regular.
The former-PSG boss revealed that once he told Ozil that he wouldn’t be a guaranteed starter week-in, week-out, he said that he wanted to leave.
The news that he wouldn’t be a regular was great news for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger as they snapped up the German on transfer deadline day for a whopping £43million and since his move, he has set the Premier League alight.
‘Ozil wasn’t comfortable. I knew he’d been speaking with another club because he wanted to leave.
‘Mesut understood that he had competition, that he wouldn’t be able to play every game – and ‘I’m off’ was his answer.
‘I prefer to have Angel Di Maria for the team’s balance. Di Maria is better than Ozil for group dynamics.’
