Former Bayern prodigy Paul Wanner opts to represent Austria over Germany

Former Bayern Munich player Paul Wanner has decided to represent Austria instead of Germany at senior international level, according to TZ.

The 20-year-old has played for Germany at various youth levels, but has now reportedly chosen to switch allegiance to Austria ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

A product of the FC Bayern Munich academy, Wanner spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Heidenheim before being sold to PSV Eindhoven for a reported €15 million last summer.

After taking some time to settle in, Wanner has established himself as a regular starter at the Dutch club, scoring three goals in 17 appearances so far.
