Werder Bremen midfielder Mesut Ozil has revealed his dream would be to play for Barcelona.
The highly-rated Germany international's future has been the subject of much speculation with a number of Europe's biggest clubs reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City are all believed to be tracking the talented 20-year-old.
And his comments are sure to prick the interest of the current European and Spanish champions.
Ozil told Bild: "I have been a fan of Barcelona ever since I was a little boy.
"I can't describe what it is, but the team just fascinates me. They have always had world-class players such as Rivaldo and (Luis) Figo in their team.
"Nevertheless, Barcelona are not an option for me at the moment," he added.
"Wearing the Barca jersey is a dream, but I still have a lot to learn and I have to work hard before I'm ready for it.
"Bayern Munich is not an option for me. I don't even think about something like that at the moment.
"I'm really happy at Werder Bremen and still have plenty of things to achieve here."

Come to Man Utd. You surely can make an impact in Man United. You can be the dangerous three along with Rooney and Berbatov. Berba can perform his brilliant form in Tottenham then. Fletcher can be more dangerous than usual. Giggs would deliever dangerous set pieces and Sir Alex Ferguson should sell Nani. Anderson can also pair with Ozil.
to Albanian L or whatever his name is ..&%$#@$%, racism doesn't exist in football and people like you should be banned from even watching football on TV ....
I guess it would really depend on his.............his choice.
I really wanted him at chelsea. Ive spoke about him for about a year now and no one listened. He'd work perfect at the front oint of our diamond midfield. he would be breaty for batca if they dont get robinho as well though.
I still feel he's a better player through the middle though than out to the left so better at chelsea!
he is good talented and very young @ just 20 years
but the question is why barca want ozile, cesc and robinho?
i think its three things that force them for this
1___ they are trying to be like madrid or feeling the pressure from liga teams like seville, madrid and valencia (barca knows that to be liga champions again they have to be better than those teams)
2___ its election year and every candidate is promesing the fans to bring this and that to be elected
3___ its all about the media,,,,,the jornalist are making stories from nothing to be busy.
I hope that Barca with not bay Vidic.If they bay him Barca will lose all Albanian funs.We are like Catalunia.VIVA CATALUNIA AND VIVA KOSOVA
i hope Ozul will the Barca player.he is a great player.VIVA BARAC AND VIVA ALBANIAN AND KOSOVA PEOPLE.We love Catalunia
