Turkey Instead of Germany? Bundesliga Star Faces National Team Decision

Young Turkish-German midfielder Emre Can is reportedly considering switching his international allegiance from Germany to Turkey.

The 29-year-old is a product of the German youth system and has represented his country at every level, including the senior team.

However, Can has Turkish roots and has expressed a desire to play for the Crescent-Stars in the past.

With the 2023 FIFA World Cup approaching, Can is said to be weighing up his options and could make a decision in the coming weeks.

Can has been a regular for Borussia Dortmund this season, making 25 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals.

He was part of the Germany squad that won the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and has also represented his country at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2020 UEFA European Championship.

If Can were to switch to Turkey, it would be a major coup for the Turkish Football Federation.

The Crescent-Stars have not qualified for a major tournament since the 2016 UEFA European Championship and are looking to rebuild their squad ahead of the 2024 UEFA European Championship.

Can would be a valuable addition to the Turkish team, and his experience and quality would be a major asset.

Can's decision is likely to be influenced by a number of factors, including his personal ambitions, the form of the two national teams, and the relationship he has with the respective coaches.

Ultimately, the decision is up to Can, and he will need to weigh up all of the factors before making a decision.
