Bayern Munich SD Christoph Freund has his say on Paul Wanner deciding between Germany and Austria

In terms of international allegiance, Paul Wanner has not yet committed to either Germany or Austria. The 18-year-old is eligible for both

countries and has so far played for Germany’s youth teams, but he is not “cap-tied” because he has not played for either nation’s senior

teams. Fellow Austrian and parent club Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund may or may not have given him a hint as to

who to represent.

It is his decision to make. As an Austrian, I have nothing against his playing for Austria. However, in general, Paul must make his own

decisions and follow his heart. I believe Heidenheim is absolutely the appropriate setting for him. We are, of course, closely tracking him

and keeping in touch because we have a plan for him.

Wanner’s development into a world-class player may obviate the need to buy Florian Wirtz for attacking midfield positions.
