Mesut Özil was undoubtedly one of the best playmakers in the last decade. However, the German international could be leaving professional football and moving to E-Sports as per his agent.

According to Sky Sports, Ozil's agent Erkut Sogut said, "He will go more into eSports, play himself and maybe become an eSports athlete. He's really good, to be honest, at Fortnite and I think one day I wouldn't be surprised if he is competing. He owns a team - M10 Esports - and he has players. He has a gaming house in Germany. He has football, like FIFA, and Fortnite.

Mesut Özil is currently part of the Turkish side Fenerbahce. The attacking midfielder joined the club from Arsenal in January 2021. However, Özil has not performed to his expectations and has been cast out of the side by the manager.

The German last played on 20th March 2022 in a 2-1 win against Konyaspor. Ozil has not been featured in the team since due to a verbal altercation with the club's interim manager. As per his agent, the 33-year-old is planning to see out his contract with Fenerbahce before leaving the sport professionally.

Mesut Özil is best known for representing Real Madrid under Jose Mourinho at the club level. The German international was also an integral part of Germany in their 2014 FIFA World Cup triumph.

It has to be seen what the 33 year old midfielder decides to do in the coming days.
