Muller's relationship with Bayern will end after this season. |
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano added: "The contract between the two parties will expire in the summer and the club's management has decided not to renew it." This means the legend of the Allianz Arena will say goodbye to the team after 17 years of dedication.
About two weeks ago, Sporting Director Max Eberl had a private meeting with Muller to inform him of the club's decision. Despite his desire to play for at least another season, Muller was unable to convince Bayern to change their stance.
At 35, Muller's role had significantly diminished, and he was mostly a substitute. Nevertheless, his influence in the dressing room remained considerable. However, with Bayern tightening spending and aiming for squad restructuring, Muller's high salary was a factor that led the club to decide not to continue their partnership.
Muller's current contract includes a clause guaranteeing him a testimonial match to officially bid farewell to the club. A fitting end for a living icon of Bayern Munich.
Joining Bayern's first team in 2008 after coming through the club's youth academy, Muller played a total of 742 matches, scoring 247 goals and providing 273 assists. He is the most successful player in Bundesliga history with 12 titles, and also holds every major and minor trophy with the Bavarian club.
On the international stage, Muller has 131 caps for the German national team and will retire after Euro 2024. Currently, he still has the opportunity to add to his collection of titles with Bayern Munich as the team is competing in the Bundesliga and has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
