Sports board member Max Eberl Walls in the question of the future of club legend Thomas Müller at FC Bayern Munich. The 51-year-old said before the league leader’s Bundesliga game on Friday (8:30 p.m./DAZN) at FC Augsburg did not specifically state whether the 35-year-old Müller would definitely no longer receive a new contract in the summer. “I will not talk about Thomas here, we’ll talk to Thomas. If we have made a decision, then it goes outside – and then you will explain it,” said Eberl. The topic is currently being “very well driven in the media”.
The “kicker” had reported that the contract with the Munich record player, which expires at the end of the season, would no longer be extended. The “picture” then wrote that Müller felt that he was bumped into because he did not get an offer, even though he would have liked to continue for a year.
Eberl about criticism of Müller: “gratitude” always there
Eberl displeases the “anticipation” of decisions and evaluations by media and experts from an official announcement on the part of the association or the player. “Thomas Müller is a special personnel. It is not just just any player, but a big player of FC Bayern.” Eberl rejected allegations that FC Bayern was missing from FC Bayern.
“Gratitude is always there,” said the sports director, also with a view to the contracts highly doped at the record champions. “Thomas is a very special situation. I have already had some players who have shaped a large era where you have to say together at some point, okay, maybe it will be over at some point. But we’ll do that when it is so far.” Müller spent his entire professional career at Bayern and is a record player of the club with 742 missions. Under coach Vincent Kompany, he only plays a supporting role in terms of sport.
“He doesn’t need to negotiate greatly. If he says he wants to keep going, then we will look deep into our eyes, take a look at the squad and then it will go on. This will probably be the shortest conversation,” Eberl reported on Müller’s future at the beginning of January.
FC Bayern: Eberl gets criticism “not at all”
In the course of the diverse contract extensions at FC Bayern and in the Causa Müller, Eberl repeatedly criticized Eberl. The 51-year-old also commented on this. “I have received a lot since I was at Bayern.” He gets her “but not at all. My whole focus applies to FC Bayern and our tasks. We decide together that it is an association.”
