"We were not allowed to talk legally before Jan. 1 so now we are just starting to look at the options with the numbers and details," Erkut Sogut told ESPN.
"I can't talk about the clubs directly because it would be unprofessional but generally, there is six months left on the contract and it is nothing unusual that we will talk to people about different opportunities and try to find the best option for Mesut.
"He might stay at Arsenal until the summer but he might go. Mesut's priority is to stay but you never know in football, things can change very fast. For the moment, we are just checking all the options for January and the summer.
"If we want to leave in January, I need to talk to Arsenal. If we sign for the summer, we don't need to. That's the situation. In the next seven to ten days, it will be a little clearer as now the transfer window is open, things can move faster."
The 32-year-old is heavily linked with a move to Fenerbahce. The rumours say DC United are also interested in the playmaker.
