JAKARTA – The presence of world soccer star Mesut Ozil in Jakarta invites wild speculation about the future of the player's career. The latest news mentions that Bali United is at the forefront of being able to get the service of the German passport footballer.

Evidence of the closeness of the two was clear when the CEO of Bali United, Yabes Tanuri, was willing to fly to Jakarta to hold a meeting with Ozil. This was revealed from Bali United's upload on its official Instagram account.

"Gercep Bosqueee," wrote the account @baliunitedfc quoted Saturday, May 28.

If true, Ozil reached an agreement with Bali United, it is certain that the Indonesian League competition next season will be more exciting. The reason, he will be the umpteenth world player who grazes in the national competition.

Previously there was the name Michael Essien who had a career at Persib Bandung. There is also Marcus Bent who has defended Mitra Kukar.

Quoting the Transfermarkt page, Mesut Ozil was priced at 50 million euros, equivalent to IDR 780 billion (exchange rate of IDR 15,600) in his heyday. The market value was embedded when the player defended English club Arsenal in 2013 to 2018.

However, over time, Ozil's market value fell to only three million euros or Rp. 46.8 billion. This book is an estimate from March 2022 when he last played for Turkish club Fenerbahce.

With this price, Bali United is believed to have no trouble. The management of Serdadu Tridatu is considered to be willing to spend a 'dowry' of around Rp. 46 billion to be able to bring players like Ozil to the Indonesian League 1.
