FC Bayern – Müller on contract talks: “No one has approached me yet”

Unlike Manuel Neuer or Robert Lewandowski, those responsible for record champions Bayern Munich have apparently not yet felt Thomas Müller about a contract extension. “Nobody has approached me from the club yet,” said the international sports picture: “You have to see what the future will bring.”

The contracts of Neuer, Lewandowski and Müller all expire in the summer of 2023. The club is said to have already largely agreed on further cooperation with goalkeeper Neuer, and the Polish star striker Lewandowski should also extend this season if possible.

When asked about a statement by Honorary President Uli Hoeneß (“At the moment I can’t imagine the years 2024 and 2025 without this trio”) Müller replied evasively: “Of course I share his opinion that we have been playing together successfully as a trio for a long time and that the team is in the definitely shaped the last few years. The rest will show.”

The 32-year-old also left open whether he could imagine an adventure abroad at the end of his playing career. “What excites me the most,” he said simply, “is sporting success and football at the highest level.” Müller has been with Bayern for 22 years and is the biggest identification figure for the fans.

The fact that the successful striker duo Müller/Lewandowski will no longer be chasing goals together from the coming season “would certainly be surprising,” said Müller, “when you consider how well things are going for everyone involved at the moment.” In football, however, “everything is possible”.
