Mesut Ozil rules out Real Madrid departure

German international Mesut Ozil has quelled suggestions that he could depart Real Madrid this summer.

It had been suggested that Arsenal and Manchester United were both preparing moves for the 24-year-old, who is believed to be unsettled at the Bernabeu.

However, the attacking midfielder insisted on Wednesday that he has no plans to leave the former Spanish champions before the end of the month.

"I feel really good at Madrid. I have a contract here until 2016. It is an honour to play with this team. I'm staying with Real Madrid," he told reporters at a press conference.

Ozil joined Real from Werder Bremen in 2010.
