Since October, when Mainz 05 suspended him for making pro-Palestinian remarks on social media, Anwar El Ghazi has not participated in a competitive football match.
The athlete has consistently remained true to his remarks, insisting that he is dedicated to world peace, and his legal battle with the German team is still ongoing.
The 28-year-old has stated that he would like to rejoin Aston Villa or Ajax and would soon be actively searching for a new team.
The two teams are the ones he spent the most time playing for in the summer, so if Unai Emery calls on behalf of Aston Villa or the Dutch team reaches out, they’ll find a very accommodating person.
Regarding Aston Villa and Ajax, El Ghazi stated in an interview with Ajax Showtime that was reported by SoccerNews: “Maybe in the future.” I’m up for these clubs at all times. I will always cherish them, and I would always be happy to hold a position in the club. I’d be happy to assist if I could.
Given that Aston Villa is fighting for a spot in the Champions League and that Ajax isn’t having the finest season, El Ghazi might find it easier to back Ajax at this time.
There’s still a lot of football left in El Ghazi, 28, so nothing is completely ruled out.
The Bundesliga team made the following announcement on October 17th: “1. FSV Mainz 05 releases Anwar El Ghazi from training and games.” The 28-year-old made a now-deleted social media post on Sunday night, which prompted the exception. El Ghazi had adopted a stance on the Middle East crisis in this that the club could not support. A thorough conversation between the player and the board preceded the release.
“Mainz 05 acknowledges the diversity of viewpoints regarding the intricate Middle East conflict that has persisted for many years.” The post’s substance, however, is obviously unrelated to the club because it does not align with our principles.
