DFB is also courting Bayern talent

Austria’s national coach Ralf Rangnick continues to campaign intensively for top talent Paul Wanner. The team boss is massively behind winning the 17-year-old from FC Bayern for the ÖFB, sports director Peter Schöttel told the APA news agency. “We know that he felt very comfortable with us.” Wanner was part of the national team in November as a training player without playing. So far, the offensive power has only been used for German junior selections.

According to the MunichEvening News“There was another meeting between Rangnick, Wanner and his advisors at the end of February, at which the national coach is said to have shown the talent a clear perspective up to the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. Rangnick sees “extraordinary opportunities” in Wanner, said Schöttel. According to the sports director, it is not planned for the time being for the team boss to nominate the youngster for the forthcoming start of the European Championship qualification at the end of March. The future only depends on Wanner himself. “There hasn’t been a decision yet,” said Schöttel.

Meanwhile, the 55-year-old emphasized that he had informed the German Football Association (DFB), which is also working for Wanner, about all the steps: “We always played with open cards. I would like to see this kind of transparency from other associations as well.” Joti Chatzialexiou, sporting director for national teams at the DFB, said in November that the association wanted to “continue to see the exceptional talent in the Germany jersey”. Wanner would know the plan that the DFB had with him.

The native Austrian, who grew up mostly in Germany, was recently left out among the Bayern pros. He made his last and eighth appearance in coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team at the beginning of February in a 4-2 win against Wolfsburg. Wanner has amassed 1,071 minutes in 16 games this season for the pros, reserves and U19s. “He’s at an important age,” says Schöttel.
