Mesut Ozil: 'No contract pressure'

Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Ozil has insisted that he is under no pressure to sign a new contract with the club.

The German international, whose current terms expire in 2016, has been linked with penning a bumper new deal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"It's nice that Madrid want to renew," Ozil told Sport Bild. "It makes me happy because it is a sign of trust in my performances.

"But, at the moment, there is nothing decided and there is no pressure. Of course I can imagine finishing my career at Madrid, but I can also imagine doing something completely different at some point."

Ozil joined Madrid from Werder Bremen in 2010.
