Will it be Germany or Austria ? and Bayern Munich, or elsewhere" Bayern Munich youngster Paul Wanner is heading into a decisive period regarding both his club and international futures.
Yet those covering Bayern ? and Germany ? are starting to read between the lines.
According to a report from Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, the 18-year-old Wanner even ?has a clear tendency? towards representing Germany instead of Austria.
Via @iMiaSanMia:

Bayern are planning with Paul Wanner. However, the player?s future next summer is still open. It depends on factors such as whether Bayern will go all in for [Bayer Leverkusen star] Florian Wirtz to pair him with Jamal Musiala. Wanner wants to play regular Champions League football next season Regarding his international future, the clear tendency is towards representing Germany
[@Plettigoal]

Music to DFB boss Julian Nagelsmann?s ears surely and nervousness for Austria coach Ralf Rangnick?and for Bayern Munich. The Bavarians have a serious talent on their hands, but a crowded attacking midfield. Will Bayern be able to accommodate its young homegrown talent"
As for Wanner and Germany, it doesn?t hurt that the kid is putting in work with the U-21s and scoring bangers:
