🚨 Another blow for Germany: top talent opts for different national team
· Yahoo Sports
Bitter news for the German Football Association (DFB). Once again, within a few years, a top talent with dual citizenship has decided not to play for Germany.

According to Florian Plettenberg, Paul Wanner has confirmed to 'Sky' that he will play for Austria in the future. The midfielder was still a vice-European champion with the German U21 national team in the summer of 2025 and was last on the field in October during a European Championship qualification match for the juniors. Now he apparently turns away from the DFB.
The former Bayern player likely hopes to catch the World Cup train for the final round in the USA, Mexico, and Canada with the Austrians.
For partly similar reasons, Can Uzun, Kenan Yıldız (both Turkey), and Ibrahim Maza (Algeria) have already decided against the DFB in recent years. More than annoying for Germany.
All four are currently considered huge talents and could have significantly shaped the future of German football.
