This Is The Team That Mesut Ozil Wants To Defend If He Has A Career In Indonesia, Not The Club Belonging To Raffi Ahmad Rans Cilegon FC

JAKARTA – Fenerbahce player Mesut Ozil has yet to open up career opportunities in Indonesian football. However, if there is a chance he will choose Bali United.

This was stated by the German international player while attending the agenda at the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, Jakarta, on Wednesday, May 25.

"If I played in Indonesia, I would choose to defend Bali United," said the 33-year-old player.

At the beginning of this year, Ozil was rumored to be playing in Indonesia. At that time, it was reported that he had joined the newcomer team of celebrity Raffi Ahmad, Rans Cilegon FC.

However, these rumors never came true. Reportedly the selling price of the 2014 Brazil World Cup winner is too expensive for Rans.

Ozil has so far remained at Fenerbahce since moving from Arsenal in the winter transfer window in 2021. At the Turkish club he is under contract until 2024 and has no intention of leaving.

"I haven't thought about moving to Indonesia. However, no one knows the future. I'm not saying no (will have a career in Indonesia), but what is certain is that right now I'm happy to be there (Fenerbahce)," said Ozil.

Ozil is currently in Indonesia since Tuesday night. While in Indonesia he will undergo a number of commercial and social agendas such as a coaching clinic.

Apart from that, he was also planning to visit some places. Among them Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta and went to Bali.
