In 2005, he went to the youth department of [[FC Schalke 04]]. He was a midfielder, and his number was 17. He soon played in the [[Ligapokal]], against teams such as [[FC Bayern Munich]] and [[Bayer Leverkusen]]. He was thought to be the "next big thing," but soon left the club.

=== Werder Bremen ===

Werder Bremen made an agreement with [[Real Madrid C.F.|Real Madrid]]. The transfer amount was believed to be near €15 million. After signing, Özil said, "When the offer came in to join Real Madrid, there is no decision to make. Let's be honest – you don't refuse this club. I was in no rush to leave Werder Bremen, but this is one club you say yes to. They are an institution, a club with a fantastic history, stadium and squad full of world-class players. The prospect of performing at the Bernabeu is so awesome you jump straight in."

His first game was against [[Hércules CF|Hércules]], which the team won the game 3-1. His first goal was against [[R.C. Deportivo de La Coruña|Deportivo de La Coruña]], which the team won 6-1.
