Mesut Ozil has renewed his commitment to Fenerbache. However, everything indicates that the club is not interested in the player remaining in their ranks.
In an interview, Jorge Jesus, the Turkish club’s new boss, said that the Ozil era was over. “He had his time, his space from him. He has a beautiful history in Turkey; no one can take it away from him,
“He is a well-known player around the world. But I will follow exactly what was the end of the Ozil era. The most important thing here is Fenerbahce and it is from there that I build my ideas and the players who come to work with me.”
If the club does not want to renew Ozil, it is most likely that the player will opt for retirement since Ozil himself has said in the past that this would be his last club.
His own agent Dr. Erku Sogat confirmed to the Telegraph that Fenerbache is the last club of his client “I think he will not play football in any other club anymore. I can’t see that – it will be Fenerbahce, and that’s it.
“He will go more into esports, play himself and maybe become an esports athlete. He’s really good, to be honest, at Fortnite and I think one day I wouldn’t be surprised if he is competing. He owns a team – M10 Esports – and he has players. He has a gaming house in Germany. He has football, like Fifa, and Fortnite.”
For his part, Ozil published a statement on Twitter in which he reaffirms his commitment to the club:
“I wanted to make this statement in order to prevent the discrediting of myself in the public and to inform our community correctly,
“First of all, I make my preparations individually with a special program, and I patiently wait for my time to come in order to meet my childhood love and contribute.
“I did not come to Fenerbahce and my homeland Turkey for a holiday. Every time I wear our glorious jersey, I have no other purpose than to contribute. I have many goals that I would like to achieve in Fenerbahçe, my childhood love. I will not quit football until I do these things.
“Both me and my club are going through a process inherent in football. It is my greatest desire to serve my beloved Fenerbahçe by getting through this process in the best way possible. My request to our fans is that they do not give credence to the fake news in the media.”
