Mesut Ozil will be left without a boot sponsor this summer after Adidas decided not to renew his lucrative contract beyond this summer, according to Bild.
The Arsenal star, who is the club's top earner on £350,000 a week, signed for the German sportswear giants back in 2013 when he was a Real Madrid player.
Ozil's seven-year deal was worth around £22million and saw him make a high-profile switch from Nike to their biggest rivals.
Speaking about signing with Adidas at the time, Ozil's father Mustafa said: 'Adidas is No 1 in football and a brand with great appeal. That fits.'
However, German newspaper Bild claim that the company will not extend the deal for the 31-year-old, who found himself out of favour under previous Gunners boss Unai Emery earlier this season.
It is the second major sponsor Ozil has lost in the last two years after Mercedes also allowed his contract to expire in 2018.
That decision came in the wake of the playmaker quitting the German national team after claiming he had been made a scapegoat for their World Cup failure in Russia.
Ozil also courted controversy when he was pictured alongside Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in London before the tournament.
Erdogan has been described as a modern-day dictator by his harshest critics and his three-day visit to the capital was met with protests from a number of human-rights groups.
It is not known whether these incidents played a part in Adidas' decision to part ways with Ozil, who will now be free to sign with another boot manufacturer.
The former Werder Bremen star has been pictured wearing Adidas boots in training this week, although his contract is likely to expire before the delayed Premier League season comes to an end in late July.
Company spokesman Oliver Bruggen told Bild: 'Contract talks are generally not publicly commented on at Adidas.'
