Panze! Fenerbahce throws Özil out - even ex

In January 2021 Fenerbahce celebrated a supposed transfer coup when the Turkish first division was committed to Mesut Özil from FC Arsenal. Almost 13 months later, it comes to the bang.

• Özil and Tufan are no longer allowed to train with the team
• Former Bayern Profi allegedly provided internally for trouble

Fenerbahce has removed Mesut Özil with immediate effect from the squad. This confirmed the club from Istanbul on Thursday.

The sticking point should have been the past game Fenerbahces against Konyaspor. This reports "fanatics". Özil stood at the 2-1 victory in the starting eleven, but was already taken from the place at the end of the first half of Coach Ismail Kartal.

A decision that the Özil of the newspaper has not necessarily been accepted with benevolence. "I could stay on the field longer. I could have given something to this team," Mözil should have accused his coach. The German was therefore received by the German Ozan Tufan, which should have denounced Kartals unfairness.

Kartal should then have complained in the club management, since he felt the announcements after the match as inappropriate. The club reacted and drew Özil and Tufan from the squad.

The duo will no longer train with the team, but keep themselves fit separately, also announced the "Hürriyet".

supposed transfery, the decision is a tough blow. Özil played 2021/22 26 lots, at least nine hits and prepared two goals. Tufan was only changed in February for a million euros on a lending by FC Watford to the Bosphorus and graduated only a few games. All the more impressive: In one of his first inserts he led Fener directly as a captain on the field.

However, above all, the lack of fitness of the duo should have always taken care of trouble. Fenerbahce President Ali Koc previously adopted Özil in the duty and demanded, the 33-year-old should focus less on his advertising appearances and more on his job.

Whether there is a way back to the team is unclear. Özil's contract ends in the summer of 2024, the lending with Tufan a year earlier.

In addition to Özil and Tufan, two more well-known actors have fallen in disgrace: Enner Valencia and José Sosa, who kicked FC Bayern for a few years. Both are to be created with the team hearts and have rejected an apology. Both were not part of the team against Konyaspor. The reason revealed the "Hürriyet".
