Ozil wants longer Real membership

Mesut Özil has strengthened his ties with Real Madrid. The German international has let Florentino Pérez know of his desire to stay at the club for a long time, following the chairman's re-election for another four-year term in office. Özil is centre-stage at Real and is happy to be part of a project that has the potential to win the most prized trophies.

"Mr Chairman, I want to stay here for many years," were the exact words he used to Florentino Pérez at the end of last season.

Özil has been at the club for three seasons now. He was signed at the insistence of Mourinho and the German couldn't contain his surprise when it was officially announced that the Portuguese coach wouldn't be staying at Real. The arrival of a new manager always creates a certain amount of uncertainty. Above all in the minds of players who have lost their most ardent supporter.

Like some other players, Özil had some doubts. But they were quickly dispelled by Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez, the club's general manager.

Özil's father, Mustafa, visited the back-offices of the Santiago Bernabéu on 22nd and 23rd May for a meeting with José Ángel Sánchez to discuss money. The meeting also served as an opportunity to evaluate his son's first three seasons at the club, who he believes will become one of the best players in the world.
