Ozil settles case with father

Berlin - Arsenal's Germany international Mesut Ozil has reached an out-of-court settlement worth an undisclosed sum in a civil case with his father, Duesseldorf's district court has confirmed on Tuesday.

Ozil sacked his father Mustafa as managing director of his marketing company last year only for Mustafa Ozil to file a complaint for loss of earnings totalling €630 000.

The current stakeholders of the World Cup-winner's firm, Ozil Marketing GmbH, had made a counter claim, demanding repayment of a loan worth €1 million and the return of a company car from Ozil senior.

Mustafa Ozil was responsible for his son's €50 million transfer from Real Madrid to Arsenal in 2013, but for the last 12 months Ozil's affairs have been looked after by his brother Mutlu.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
