Is Özil really leaving for Fenerbahce? He announced through a personal Twitter Q&A on the evening of the 11th (hereafter local time) that he will continue his football career even after the summer contract with Arsenal ends. “There are two countries I want to play before retirement. Turkey and the United States.”
“If I go to Turkey, the team will be Fenerbahce,” he said. I even explained the reason. “I have been a fan of Fenerbahce since growing up in Germany. Every German-Turkish, no matter how much he grew up in Germany, had one team to support Turkey. My team was Fenerbahce.”
It was already revealed by the German daily that Özil had secretly contacted Fenerbahce. Özil’s tweeter was added to further ignite his possibility of going to Fenerbahce.
This time, even an agent went out. On the evening of the 12th, he said, “Ozil is not just a supporter of Fenerbahce. Very enthusiastic. If he goes to Turkey, it’s probably because he plays with Fenerbahce. I hope so.”
“This transfer requires a series of processes. It’s not right to talk about things that haven’t happened yet. But hopefully it will be confirmed soon. I have always said so. After Özil’s comment on Twitter, everyone knew what he wanted.”

If Özil transfers, the most likely time is summer. Because he becomes a free agent. However, he wants to stand on the ground as soon as possible, and he wants a winter transfer.
