The former coach of the German national team, Joachim Löw, recalled how he persuaded Bayern midfielder Jamal Musiala to play for the national team. The Munich star has been wearing the Germany national team jersey since early 2021, rather than the England national team.

We knew he could be incredibly important for our country’s team. So we had to keep him,” Löw is quoted by Kicker.
It should be noted that Musiala represented both England and Germany at the youth level.
