Surprising move
No appearances – change of nation as a solution!
Because it has not yet worked out with appearances in the German senior national team, Werder professional and ex-Bayern player Mitchell Weiser wants to switch nations.
Weiser became European U21 champion with Germany in 2017. However, he has not made it into the senior national team since then, which is why the 30-year-old is now rethinking his options. He is pushing for a transfer to Algeria - where he could make his international debut as early as November.
Mother has Algerian roots
As reported by "Transfermarkt.de", the final details between the Werder Bremen right-back and the Algerian Football Association have been clarified. As his mother has Algerian roots, Weiser is eligible to play for the North African country as well as Germany.
Weiser already expressed his desire to play for Algeria in 2023: "I always had the option in my head. My goal was always to play in a major tournament. I see better opportunities with Algeria. I've made my decision and I have the feeling that it suits me better."
The 30-year-old has played for Werder Bremen since 2022. He was also under contract with FC Bayern between 2012 and 2015.
Need for action in Weiser's position
Algeria's national team coach Vladimir Petkovic will be delighted to hear that Weiser could be called up for the next international matches in November. There is also a need for action on the right side of defense. Aïssa Mandi, a nominal central defender, was recently deployed in this position.
