Bayern Munich wonderkid Musiala refuses to pick between Nigeria and Germany

Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala has respectfully avoided picking between representing Nigeria or Germany after being quizzed during a fun Q&A session.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who has already made 27 appearances for Germany, was posed the cheeky question of which country he would choose if forced to pick one or the other.

With his feet firmly on the ground, Musiala gave a diplomatic response, stating:

The Bayern ace was born in Stuttgart to a Nigerian father and German mother before being raised in England from the age of seven after his family moved to the UK.

With eligibility for all three nations, Musiala had plenty of options on the international stage before pledging his allegiance to Germany - the country of his birth.

Having risen through the youth ranks with the German national set-up, he made his senior debut in March 2021 and has since established himself as a key man for the European giant.

However, Musiala clearly still holds a deep affection and respect for his Nigerian roots and English upbringing, as evidenced by his carefully-worded response.

“I have respect for both, I love both,” he added in the video posted on the social media platform Tiktok.

The classy midfielder is keen to avoid causing any controversy or offence by overtly picking one nation over the others close to his heart.

For now, he seems perfectly content representing Germany, for whom he played at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

But don't rule out Musiala one day swapping the Deutsches Haus for the Super Eagles or Three Lions - of course, if wishes were horses, that is.
