BILD: Erblin Osmani has not yet decided between Kosovo and Germany

Erblin Osmani

Bayern Munich's 17-year-old talent, Erblin Osmani, has been issued with a Kosovo passport and has chosen to play for the "Dardans". At least that's what Kosovo's ambassador to Germany, Faruk Ajeti, declared last week.

However, the footballer's final decision has not yet been made official.

The major German media outlet, "BILD", wrote on Tuesday that no final decision has yet been made. 
Osmani and his manager have not yet commented on this issue, the German media writes.

"If Osmani, after receiving his passport, also receives an invitation from the Kosovo Football Federation, then he will face a final decision: Does he want to play in the future for Kosovo, the country of origin of his parents, where the path to the national team would be easier and where he could quickly become a player much loved by the fans? Or will he continue to be loyal to Germany and try to move from the German youth teams to the first national team, under the guidance of new coach Jurgen Klopp?" asked "BILD".

Osmani has already made his debut for Bayern's first team. 
The midfielder has so far played for Germany's U16 and U17 teams.
