Yann Bisseck has expressed his desire to play for Germany rather than Cameroon, despite interest from the African nation.
The Inter Milan defender, speaking in a recent interview, made it clear that his preference is to represent Germany on the international stage.
Having progressed through Germany’s youth teams, Bisseck, born in Cologne, has always been closely tied to the German footballing system.
The 24-year-old acknowledged that although he has not made a final decision, his priority remains playing for the German national team.
I have not yet made a decision, but my priority is to play for Germany, because I have been in all the youth teams there,” Bisseck stated.
The defender’s comments reflect his strong connection with Germany, where he has already represented his country at various youth levels.
His potential call-up to the senior team has been a subject of growing interest, particularly with his rise at Inter Milan.
However, Bisseck also mentioned that he has received overtures from Cameroon, as they seek to secure his commitment to the Indomitable Lions.
Despite this, he remains focused on his goal of playing for Germany.
One of the key moments that has reinforced his decision came from a personal phone call with German national coach Julian Nagelsmann.
When I heard ‘Hello, Julian Nagelsmann here on the phone,’ I felt incredible emotions.
The national coach knows my name! It’s a huge thing, I’m very happy about it,” Bisseck shared.
The conversation, which left a lasting impression on the young defender, solidified his belief that he is valued by the German coaching staff.
I think it’s very cool that the coach contacts me personally with all the things he has to take care of.
I appreciate that beyond measure, it’s a great mark of respect,” he added.
Bisseck’s decision holds significant weight, as his future in international football could have a major impact on his career.
The competition for a place in Germany’s senior squad is fierce, but Bisseck’s potential inclusion in the national team would be a recognition of his rising talent in European football.
His focus now seems set on achieving his dream of representing Germany, although Cameroon’s pursuit remains a notable factor in his decision-making process.
As Bisseck continues to impress at Inter Milan, it seems that the next step in his international career will be shaped by his commitment to his German roots, with the possibility of a future call-up to the senior team increasingly likely.
