[The Athletic] Mesut Ozil has not been ‘dumped’ by Adidas, but is going it alone to build his M10 brand : Gunners

Özil’s agent, Erkut Soget, spoke to the Athletic saying that the reports about Özil being dumped due to publicity issues are false and that they are simply parting ways with Özil set to focus on his own brand

“There is no termination,” Ozil’s representative Erkut Sogut told The Athletic. “The contract is running out. It’s like any other contract agreement or contract you have with a club — like if Mesut’s contract runs out with Arsenal next year, Arsenal wouldn’t say one month before they were ‘dumping’ him.”
