6. Mesut Ozil
Source: The Mirror Probably one of the more ridiculous rumours on the list comes from September 2012. With Modric going to Madrid there was some concern over the future of Mesut Ozil. With reports he could be forced out by the former Spurs man. Modric has struggled in Madrid and Ozil has probably been Madrids most influential player. Playing in an attacking midfield roll he can pull the strings, claim assists and score goals. Madrid wouldnt dream of letting him go. To make the story even stupider, there is no way in a million years Liverpool could afford him. The failures of the last regime mean Liverpool arent the financial super power they once were. Ozil is under contract til 2016 meaninga massive fee would be required to sign him as well as equally large wages. In short, this was never going to happen, Ozil is a key man Madrid and on big money. Not in Liverpools wildest dreams was the German going to end up living by the Mersey.
