Juventus have turned down the opportunity to sign Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil for free in January.
Ozil is keen to leave Arsenal after he was left out of Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads at the start of the season.
However, the German attacking midfielder has been rejected by various European clubs.
The Gunners have been desperate to shed Ozil's £350,000-per-week wages amid the financial ramifications of the pandemic.
Therefore, according to Tuttosport, both Arsenal and Ozil's agent, Erkut Sogut, have offered the former Real Madrid star to several European clubs.
In order to push a deal over the line in January - six months before the expiration of his contract - Arsenal have offered to pay half of Ozil's salary if he joins Juventus.
However, the Italian giants rejected Arsenal offer and turned down the opportunity to sign the 32-year-old.
Ozil has not played competitive football since March but will continue to pursue a January transfer despite his recent rejections.

Ozil is not only wicked but additionally toxic. I do not understand why this overflow of sentiments without people understanding the source of problems with arsenal f c. This is a man who was on 250,000 pounds per week wage which Arteta/Arsenal increased to 350000 pounds per week to make him happy and retain his services just before the break out of covid 19. After the breakout of covid 19, the earnings of clubs plummeted. Arsenal like most clubs appealed to their players to take a pay cut. Ozil, their highest earner refused and instead tried to lead a player revolt. Not long after, he took up China with his Uighur comments which is attracting support for him from fundamental had line muslims. Arsenal made a mistake in offering such an ingrate a huge crippling contract. Arsenal should leak their wound, pay off Ozil without allowing him pollute their squad. This same Ozil mining arsenal of 350000 pounds per week, who refused a temporary 10% to 20% pay cut to help his club at the height of the covid 19 pandemic shut down, is negotiating slashing off more than 200,000 pounds off his current wage to enable him get a contract from Fernabache f c in Turkey.
