Paul Wanner, currently on loan at Heidenheim from Bayern Munich, finds himself at a crossroads with both Germany and Austria vying for his national allegiance. He remains focused on gaining playing time in the Bundesliga before making any international decisions. Wanner expressed, 'Of course, I won't take a break [from international football] forever... I want to get started at some point. Actually, I want to play in the Bundesliga for a whole year to see where it goes.' This indicates that his priority lies in performance over immediate international commitments.
Reflecting on the complexities of choosing a national team, Wanner noted, 'Choosing a national team is not like a club... you can't switch there and then back again.' He highlighted the significance of this decision and the absence of a loan option. Although Wanner rejected the opportunity to play for Germany's U21 team this time, he explained, 'My body just needed a short break... the transition to the Bundesliga... that was exhausting. So I communicated that clearly to everyone.' This further emphasizes his focus on personal fitness and development.
