Both parties are in a legal dispute after Mainz fired El Ghazi following a pro-Palestinian Instagram post following the attack on Israel by terrorists on behalf of Hamas on October 7. The 29-year-old had filed a lawsuit against this. In July, the labor court declared the termination without notice invalid. The club then announced that it would take the case to the Rhineland-Palatinate State Labor Court as soon as the written reasons for the judgment were available.
El Ghazi wants to donate money to Gaza
In July, El Ghazi terminated his contract with the Rhineland-Palatinate club, which had a year left on it, without notice in order to move to Cardiff. The club’s appeal against the ruling is still pending. If Mainz are successful, they would get their money back.
El Ghazi wants to donate the amount he received. “I hope that Mainz, despite its failed attempts to avoid paying the money due, will find comfort in the knowledge that through me they have contributed financially to making life a little more bearable for the children in Gaza,” he wrote on Instagram.
