Paul Wanner Declines German National Team Invitation

The 18-year-old footballer opts to play for Germany's U21 team, leaving his national allegiance undecided.

Paul Wanner, a promising young player for 1. FC Heidenheim, has turned down an invitation from Germany's senior national team coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Wanner was offered the opportunity to debut in the Nations League matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Hungary but chose to remain with the U21 squad.
Born in Austria but raised in Germany, Wanner has yet to decide whether to represent Germany or Austria at the senior national level.
Both the German and Austrian football associations are keen on securing Wanner's future representation as he continues to excel in the Bundesliga.
Wanner, on loan from Bayern Munich, has expressed a desire to focus on his development in the Bundesliga before committing to a senior national team.
