Mesut Ozil’s father has filed a charge against an agent who falsely claimed to represent the player during his transfer talks with Manchester United, according to the Express.
Ozil became the most expensive German player after making a switch from Real Madrid to Arsenal for 50 million euros on deadline day.
Mesut’s father has officially filed a charge to an unknown agent who falsified his signature on a document which allowed Manchester United to commence transfer talks with the player.
“I would have never deemed it possible what some dodgy people venture to do,” Ozil told the paper. “Someone wanted to make contact with Manchester in my name and even signed with my name. That is no trivial offence. We will get to the bottom of it,” he said.
Following the transfer to Arsenal, the agent Francois Gallardo had claimed that Ozil senior had shopped his son around most of the European top teams.
However, Ozil senior firmly denied this claim, saying: “As you can see, that’s wrong. You don’t need to offer a player of Mesut’s class to any club in the world.”
