Mesut Ozil, who has been on the sidelines at Arsenal since Mikel Arteta joined the Gunners' bench, will leave the London club (his contract expires in June) but is absolutely determined to continue playing.
In a question and answer session with fans on Twitter, the 32-year-old 2014 world champion with Germany answered a question about his future: "I will definitely continue to play, and there are two countries where I want to do it before I retire: Turkey and the United States. And if I go to Turkey, it will only be to play for Fenerbahce. "
"Every Turkish-German cheers for a team from Turkey - added Ozil -, even if they grow up in Germany. Mine has always been Fenerbahce, which is like Real Madrid in Spain. The biggest club in the country."
On his experience at Arsenal, Ozil commented: "There have been ups and downs but I have never had any regrets about having chosen Arsenal. I enjoyed every moment, right up to the break (the lockdown ed). Then Unfortunately, things have changed ".
Meanwhile, DC United, a Washington club, has already shown interest in the former Real Madrid playmaker.
