Paul Wanner leaving FC Bayern München?
Kicker reports on the efforts of 1. FC Heidenheim to retain Paul Wanner for another season following his loan expiration from FC Bayern. Paul Wanner's loan from FC Bayern to 1. FC Heidenheim has expired. The management of 1. FC Heidenheim, including Holger Sanwald, is trying to keep the young player for another year. Wanner had a strong start but his performances have been inconsistent overall. If he leaves, it would mean losing further skillful finesse after Frans Krätzig's departure.
Paul Wanner is being pursued by numerous clubs, and there is a dispute between the national teams of Germany and Austria over him, as he holds both passports. Although specific clubs are not mentioned, the interest is significant enough to be noted.
1. FC Heidenheim wants to extend Paul Wanner's loan for another season. Holger Sanwald, the chairman of FCH, confirmed to 'Sky': 'Paul knows this, his agent knows this, and Bayern Munich knows this too. We are convinced that it would be beneficial for him. Everything fits really well - and we hope it stays that way.'
Paul Wanner will not participate in the Club World Cup for FC Bayern but will play in the U21 European Championship for the German National Team. FC Bayern is considering another loan for him, ideally to a club that competes in international competitions. His previous loan to 1. FC Heidenheim was successful. Clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart have shown interest in Wanner recently.
Paul Wanner is planned to be loaned out again for the next season to gain more experience at a club that offers European competition exposure. Previously, clubs like Frankfurt and Stuttgart showed interest.
Paul Wanner is considering his options for the next season. According to 'Sky', it is important for the midfielder to play for a strong team in the upcoming season. It is uncertain if this will be at FC Bayern München or if the 19-year-old will be loaned out again. A sale is also not ruled out according to the broadcaster.
Paul Wanner is currently on loan to 1. FC Heidenheim. FC Bayern is aiming to extend his contract beyond 2027 before arranging another loan to a club that participates in international competitions next season.
Paul Wanner, who is currently on loan to Heidenheim from Bayern Munich, is regarded as one of the most promising German attacking talents. Bayern Munich's sports director, Christoph Freund, indicated that the club plans to incorporate Paul Wanner into their future. Nonetheless, Wanner is contemplating his next career move for the upcoming season, possibly due to a reluctance to spend time on the bench at Bayern. Should Bayern decide to pursue Leverkusen's star Florian Wirtz, Wanner might consider taking another intermediate step. His contract with Bayern is valid until 2027.
Paul Wanner, a promising football talent holding an Austrian passport, is attracting the attention of the Austrian national team, which is eager for him to switch allegiances and represent Austria on the international stage. Wanner is currently a player for Germany's U21 team, but since he has not yet participated in a competitive match for the German senior national team, the opportunity for a switch remains open. The German Football Association (DFB) is reportedly determined to retain him as a player for Germany and intends to take all necessary measures to prevent the switch.
