Yan Aurel Bisseck has been a quiet revelation since swapping the Bundesliga for Serie A, but the Inter Milan defender is adamant his head is not being turned by thoughts of a return to Germany. The towering centre back has settled well into Simone Inzaghi's demanding system, showing the sort of composure on the ball and physical authority that made him a target for several top flight clubs in the first place.Yet, while his immediate future remains firmly tied to the Nerazzurri, Bisseck admits to a healthy curiosity about one particular development back in his homeland. He is, by his own admission, intrigued by the prospect of Jürgen Klopp taking the reins of the German national team. Let's be honest here, who wouldn't be The thought of Klopp's heavy metal pressing and infectious charisma being applied to the DFB setup is the sort of narrative that gets the neutrals purring. It's a tantalising prospect, even for a player currently plying his trade in Milan.But let's not get carried away with the fantasy. For Bisseck, the reality is about earning his stripes at the San Siro. He knows the competition for places is fierce, with the likes of Francesco Acerbi and Alessandro Bastoni standing in his way. A return to Germany is not on the agenda, not when he is in the process of establishing himself as a reliable option in one of Europe's most tactically demanding leagues. The boy has his head screwed on right.Is there a part of him that would love to play under Klopp Almost certainly. Any defender with an ounce of ambition would be 'curious' about that. It is simply a natural, human reaction to a potential appointment that could redefine an international side. But for now, the focus is on the here and now, on the title charge in Italy and the Champions League knockout rounds. The German national team will have to wait. Bisseck's future is written in black and blue, not in the black, red, and gold of the Nationalmannschaft.
