Ozil was removed from the guest list by Werder Bremen at a tribute event for Brazilian midfielder Diego. A club representative confirmed: "We agreed with Diego not to invite Ozil because his recent actions do not reflect the values of the club."
After retiring in 2023, Ozil has continuously attracted attention with workout videos showing off his muscular body. The former Arsenal star surprised fans with his dramatic appearance transformation.
Earlier this year, Ozil was appointed to the central council of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Türkiye. Ozil plays for Germany, but has always maintained close ties with his native Turkey.
Ozil caused controversy when he and Ilkay Gundogan took a photo with President Erdogan at Euro 2018. The event caused Ozil to be heavily criticized, leading to his decision to retire from the German national team.
Ozil was born in Germany, a third generation member of a Turkish family. He was a key player in Germany's 2014 World Cup win, making 92 appearances for the national team and being voted Player of the Year five times.
At club level, Ozil had an illustrious career, winning titles with Werder Bremen, Real Madrid and Arsenal. He retired in 2023 after a short spell with Istanbul Basaksehir.
Werder Bremen is the club that helped Ozil gain more attention. He scored 16 goals and had 54 assists in 108 matches for the German club.
