New Arsenal signing Mesut Ozil is threatening to sue his old club Real Madrid after the boss at the Bernabeu, Florentino Perez, made accusations about his personal life affecting his form during his spell in Spain.
The German international was dating a South American beauty queen during his career in Madrid and Perez made comments in the media saying that Ozil’s performances were being affected by his relationship.
After seeing the comments made by Perez, Ozil’s father held a conference of his own where he lashed out at the Madrid owner and admitted that the family are prepared to sue him for his allegations.
The new Arsenal man’s father said: ‘It is clear Perez is not a man of honour,’ he fumed. ‘He may have a lot of money, but that does not make him an honourable person.
‘He tries to pretend that Mesut has not lived a professional lifestyle in Madrid and that I am a father who is only interested in money. Both are completely untrue, and that is why I am thinking of suing.
‘We will consider all steps. The lawyers will check whether it would make sense to take this further, and then we will decide on whether to take legal action.
‘He wants to turn Mesut into a scapegoat and portray me as the greedy parent, when nothing could be further from the truth. We are ready to defend ourselves, because all I want is what is best for my son. That has always been my outlook and always will be.’
