Fenerbahce did great to secure the signature of Mesut Ozil from Arsenal. But two years later, the former Germany international is being wasted on the sidelines after a falling out with Fener’s caretaker coach Ismail Kartal last month. With the arrival of experienced Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus, there is hope among the fans that they could still see the best out of the player whose boyhood dream was to play for the Istanbul club.Son günlerde kariyerim ile ilgi yapılan iddialarla ilgili olarak bir açıklama yapmam zorunlu oldu. İlk 6 ay ücret dahi almadan, çocukluk aşkım olan Fenerbahçe ile 3.5 yıl bir kontrat imzalayarak, kariyer hedefimi tamamlamıştım.

Fenerbahce will have to navigate past a tricky Champions League playoffs to make the group stage.The board want to appoint Jesus and complete summer transfers as soon as possible for the squad to settle before the playoff games. Jesus has previously managed Braga, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Al-Hilal, and Flamengo, and this will be his first managerial post in Turkey.Friday, 21.45: (2.20) Croatia (3.30) Austria (3.70)One of Jesus’ first tasks after signing an $8 million one-year contract will be reinstating Ozil into the team. The midfielder has announced to the public that he won’t leave the club no matter what and will see the final year of his deal in Istanbul.”Recently, I have had to make a statement regarding the allegations made about my career. I completed my career goal by signing a 3.5-year contract with Fenerbahce, my childhood love, without even getting paid for the first six months. I repeat with emphasis; I will not end my career in a team other than Fenerbahce. For the duration of my contract, my only goal is to wear the Fener shirt. This decision is very clear and final.”🚨 Fenerbahce reached an agreement with Jorge Jesus.The parties fully agreed. It is expected to be announced soon.Paperwors time. pic.twitter.com/WDIsMVx2Mm— Ronald Morgan (@ronaldmorgan_) May 21, 2022 A coach of Jorge Jesus’ experience should be able to use Ozil’s talent to make his team better. It’s not like he’ll have much choice. He’ll either play the midfielder or waste him on the sidelines.”As per the requirements of professional life, if our management takes a decision about me, I will only respect this. I will work hard and always keep myself ready. As I always say, the main thing is Fenerbahce. My love and respect to the great Fener fans.”
