Mesut Ozil could be on his way out of Fenerbahce, with the club beginning the process of terminating his contract. He has been publicly excluded from the squad, and could now be dismissed permanently.
Fenerbahce president Ali Koc said: ‘We do not have that plan at the moment. This decision is not child’s play. The most important thing is Fenerbahce.’
Mesut Ozil’s contract in termination stage
The former Germany international’s agent, Erkut Sogut told reporters via Fanatik: ‘Mesut did not want to make it difficult in the current environment.
‘Such events are always sad. An unpleasant process has begun for both sides. The important thing is to stay calm and wait for the final decision.
‘I say this clearly here. Mesut will not go anywhere, and he certainly has no plans to leave. He will continue here as a Fenerbahce player for two more years until the end of his contract.
‘He signed Fenerbahce for three-and-a-half years, six months of which he played for free. From January to the end of the season, he didn’t even make any money.
‘Mesut did not go out and denigrate anyone. What happened there will stay there. If his punishment comes, it will be taken and it will end.’
Hull City, which has Turkish owners, and David Beckham’s Inter Miami are potential destinations for the playmaker. Mesut Ozil is open to a spell in the United States, and will have to make a decision about his future if Fenerbahce go ahead with the contract termination process.
