Fenerbahçe remove Ozil from squad

Fenerbahce have announced that Mesut Ozil and Ozan Tufan have been excluded from the Turkish squad by a decision taken by the board. The former Real Madrid player is unable to settle at any club.

After his departure from Arsenal in January 2021, the Germany international headed to Turkey to join Fenerbahce, where he started a new stage, but the truth is that he has been stumbling around for a year now.

Ozil, one of the highest paid players in the Ottoman team, has been sidelined due to his lack of performance on the pitch and a behaviour for which he has been questioned recently.

Fenerbahce have only announced the news, not the reason. However, one senses that it is due to an obvious lack of professionalism from a player who, at 33 years of age, is called to lead the Turkish team.

Winner of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Ozil is facing one of the most critical moments of his career as a footballer. The former Real Madrid player left Arsenal through the back door, and is about to do the same at Fenerbahce.
