Ozil’s contract with Fenerbahce terminated

Mesut Ozil’s contract with Fenerbahce has been terminated as a result of his exclusion from the first team, according to NTVSpor.

This means that the former playmaker for Arsenal will be a free agent during the summer.

Ozil had not played for the Turkish Super Lig side since March 20, when he was dropped due to fitness concerns.

That bust-up came with interim head coach Ismail Kartal, and there has been no way back in for him under new manager Jorge Jesus, who has also left him out of his squad.

It is, however, understood Ozil’s departure is by mutual agreement.

Ozil played 36 matches for Fenerbahce, scoring nine goals and assisting three.

The 33-year-old had left Arsenal in January 2021 to make the switch to Turkey, but his spell fell flat and resulted in him training alone after being exiled.
