What happened. Freiburg full-back Philipp Treu received a video call from Germany coach Jürgen Klopp after a superb start to 2026/27 for him and his team. The 25-year-old has a past at RB Leipzig and St. Pauli.
- Born in Heidelberg, he came through Sandhausen, RB Leipzig and Freiburg, winning the 2017/18 DFB Youth Cup.
- At St. Pauli he scored once and assisted twice to help promotion in 2023/24.
- He made 28 league appearances and 14 in the Europa League last season, including the final defeat to Aston Villa.
Treu's form and Klopp's interest could soon turn his first senior Germany call-up from conversation into reality.
