Montrell Culbreath, an 18-year-old winger for Bayer Leverkusen, is at a crossroads regarding his international football career. Eligible to represent both Germany and the United States, he has played for both nations at the U16 level but is now a member of Germany's U19 team. In an interview with Sport Bild, Culbreath expressed his honor at being able to play for both countries but remains undecided about his future. He has not had contact with the US football federation since his U16 appearances in November 2022, stating, “I assume the Americans also see that I am currently playing for Germany’s U19s.” As he focuses on the upcoming U19 European Championship, he is not anticipating a call-up to the US Men's National Team (USMNT) World Cup squad. Culbreath has made significant strides at the club level, breaking into Bayer Leverkusen's senior squad this season and starting the last four matches.
