Brazil and Portugal battle for Bayern Munich wonderkid | OneFootball

Midfielder Maycon Cardozo, the new gem of Bayern Munich, is going through an important moment in his international career. The player is facing the decision of choosing between the Brazilian national team or the Portuguese one.

The player’s international future, as he turns 18 in October, is still undefined. Born in Brazil, Maycon holds dual citizenship, Brazilian and Portuguese, which allows him to represent either national team. According to the newspaper Bild, the midfielder’s dream is to play for the Brazilian national team.

However, the player has not been receiving call-ups to Brazil’s youth national teams. As a result, the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has shown great interest in having the player, increasing the behind-the-scenes battle over his choice.

Raised in Thailand, the youngster made his Bayern debut on March 6 in the Bundesliga, coming on in the second half in the win over Borussia Mönchengladbach. He became the first player developed by the Munich club’s talent project to reach the first team. Last Saturday, he took the field again against Union Berlin.
