Mesut Ozil SUED by his Father Mustafa after sacking him

Thegoalmac understands that Mesut Ozil's relationship with his own father may have been destroyed by a legal battle.

Sincerely, I don't really know what to say on this father and son issue, its just crazy, especially given to the fact that they had to go to court to settle what I think they could have settled as a family, makes it unacceptable in my own books, because I believe family is everything and important. Continue for the main gist and tell us what you think?

Mustafa Ozil had taken the Mesut Ozil Marketing Company to court, demanding £495,000 in lost earnings on sponsorship deals. Son Mesut responded by demanding the return of an £800,000 loan. 

The case was eventually settled outside of court last month, but the Dusseldorf state court only confirmed the settlement this week. 

Until last year, Mustafa Ozil has been his son's agent, as well as an executive at the 'Mesut Ozil Marketing Company'. In the summer of 2013, Mustafa not only negotiated his son's move from Real Madrid to Arsenal, but also a multi-million pound sponsorship deal with adidas. 

The relationship between father and son broke down shortly afterwards, however, with Mesut Ozil apparently dismayed at the manner in which his parents had split up. The Germany player sacked his father, taking on his brother Mutlu as his new agent.

 Mustafa was also at the heart of his son's messy exit from Real Madrid, launching into a vicious war of the words with Real president Florentino Perez in September 2013. 

Real accused Ozil and his father of greed, while Mustafa insisted that Perez was 'not an honourable man'. Some speculated that the ensuing chaos around Mesut Ozil's person may have been a reason for his dip in confidence towards the turn of the year.

Mustafa Ozil, though, has found his own reasons. In an interview with the Cologne newspaper 'Express' this week, he has claimed that it was Mesut's girlfriend, Mandy Capristo, who destroyed the relationship between father and son.
