The 35-year-old, known for his abilities on the pitch, has decided to focus on fitness after hanging up his boots.

Since his retirement, Ozil has been spending more time at the gym with his wife and trainer.

In a recent social media post, Ozil proudly showcased his new body physique, looking more masculine with six-pack abs, big biceps, and broad shoulders.
