Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann has issued a formal apology to Deniz Undav after his controversial public assessment of the striker’s performance last month. The former Bayern Munich boss admitted his comments regarding the VfB Stuttgart star were too blunt and has moved to clarify their relationship ahead of the upcoming World Cup.

Deniz Undav’s role in the Germany squad was a hot topic during the recent international break. Things are now set to calm down.

Amid the debate surrounding Nagelsmann, VfB Stuttgart are in talks with Deniz Undav over a new contract. The striker’s salary demands are said to be of historic proportions.

The Undav affair is causing quite a stir and continues to be a hot topic of conversation. The VfB star has received backing from a former number nine.

It is almost certain that El Mala will leave 1. FC Köln this summer. But where to? His preferred plan might be risky for his development, but it is likely to be beneficial overall.

The German national team’s attack shines even without (and with) Deniz Undav; Lennart Karl is proving himself worthy of more than just a trial run; the defence is holding its own despite the odd wobble; and Julian Nagelsmann’s measures are paying off. The winners and losers at the DFB following the March training camp.
