There is still water in the gas between Mainz and Anwar El Ghazi (28 years old). The Dutch striker saw his contract terminated by the German club last November, after a message of support for the Palestinian cause in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A decision which had been the subject of a debate on freedom of expression in Germany. Since then, the positions have not come closer, quite the contrary.
THE Daily Mail assures that Mainz even requested financial damages from the former LOSC player, to recruit a new attacker. Note that the legal dispute is still ongoing between the two camps, and that a hearing will take place in June to close this case.
