Ozil’s representatives were also in talks with MLS side DC United.
In a Twitter Q&A earlier this week, Ozil expressed his desire to play in Turkey and the US before he retires.
In response to another question, he wrote: “If I went to Turkey, I could only go to Fenerbahçe.
“I grew up as a Fenerbahçe fan as a kid in Germany – every German-Turkish person supports a Turkish team when they grow up in Germany.
“And mine was Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe is like Real Madrid in Spain. The biggest club in my country.”
Ozil, who arrived at Arsenal from Real Madrid in 2013, scored 44 goals and registered 77 assists in 254 appearances for the club.
