Finally, the former German footballer of Turkish origin arrived at Real Madrid, being transferred by the “galacticos” from Werder Bremen for 18 million euros, and was extremely popular at the “Santiago Bernabeu” during the three years he wore the blanco shirt, before the transfer to Arsenal, which was made for 47 million euros.
Now, Mesut Ozil’s father Mustafa, who has been out of touch with his son for several years now, has spoken on the ‘RTL+’ podcast about the reasons why the former Germany international missed out on that move to Bayern Munich.
He revealed that the main cause was Mesut’s relationship at the time with German actress Anna-Maria Lagerblom.
In 2010, Mesut almost got to Bayern Munich at the expense of Real Madrid, but Bayern did not take kindly to his relationship with Anna-Maria Lagerblom,” said Mustafa Ozil, quoted by < a i=1>brand.com.
According to the cited source, Mesut Ozil had a relationship with Anna-Maria Lagerblom for about a year and a half, which ended in November 2010. Later, in 2012, she married rapper Bushido.
Ozil’s father is extremely disappointed about his son’s withdrawal from the German national team
Recently, Mustafa spoke in Bild about this topic and said that he wishes he had a magic wand so that he could turn back time and convince Mesut not to retire from the “Mannschaft”.
The former midfielder, born in Gelsenkirchen and raised by Schalke 04, world champion in 2014 with the German national team, decided in 2018 to retire from the first representative team due to some attacks he suffered from fans on social networks, due to his religion mainly.
If I had a magic wand, I would want to turn back time. It is not possible for Mesut’s career to end like this. I still can’t accept it, even to this day. I am sad and disappointed. It hurts. As his father, I wish he would just ignore the messages on social media about his origins, religion and politics. He was a sportsman,” said Mustafa Ozil in Bild at the time.
In March of this year, Mesut Ozil also retired from club football. The last time he played in Turkey, at Istanbul Başakşehir, after previously being registered at Fenerbahce.
