Headline: French Star Jules Koundé Sparks Interest in German National Team with Throwback Jersey
The right-back position has long been a challenge for the German national team. Joshua Kimmich has repeatedly had to take on this role, despite primarily playing as a central midfielder for Bayern Munich.
A player of notable international caliber would greatly enhance the DFB’s right defensive flank. Jules Koundé could be a prime candidate.
Interestingly, Koundé seems to hold an admiration for the DFB team, evident by his choice of attire. He was recently seen in Beverly Hills sporting a 1998 German national team jersey, indicating his appreciation for their style.
However, there is a significant hurdle: the 27-year-old defender has already represented France 56 times. Thus, despite his fondness for the German jersey, a future with the DFB is unattainable for him.
The right-back position has been the German national team’s great Achilles’ heel for many years. Time and again, Joshua Kimmich has had to fill in there, even though he plays almost exclusively in central midfield for Bayern Munich.
A player of genuine international top-class quality would therefore undoubtedly look good on the DFB’s right defensive flank. A player like Jules Koundé, for example.

So it’s rather convenient that Koundé himself seems to have a certain fondness for the DFB team. At the very least, he appears to think their jerseys are pretty cool.
The Barça star was recently spotted in Beverly Hills wearing a 1998 jersey. Koundé apparently seems to be spending the final days of his World Cup break there.
One snag, though: the 27-year-old has already made 56 appearances for France. So despite all his fashion preferences, a DFB career is unfortunately no longer an option…
