Thomas Müller may not be committed to the question of his future. “We are in conversations. Let’s look, ”replied the FC Bayern offensive player in an interview whether he would extend his contract in Munich in the summer. Müller is currently only used as a substitute at FC Bayern. What counts for him? “Whether it fits,” he replied. “We talk about the sporting perspective and the financial package.”
Müller basically wants to continue playing football. “In any case, it feels like that,” he said. The 35-year-old also restricted: “I do not exclude anything. It could also be over in summer. But I still have a lot of fun playing football. ” The attacker gave an insight into his considerations: “I am realistic, I never get this adrenaline again after the end of the career. This also applies to the pressure you have to face. Do you bring your performance? Do you meet your expectations and that from the outside? It tickles so much that you can let go of it hard. As long as I think I am physically able to face this challenge and fight the tickle, I want to go on. ”
In the past, a departure of the FCB record player was a topic when Manchester United and his ex-coach Louis van Gaal promoted his services. At the beginning of his professional career, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim wanted him, but Müller decided to stay. “I also dealt with a change in autumn 2019 under Niko Kovac,” revealed the veteran.
“I told the club, if my situation does not change, I would like to check the option of a change in winter. Because I had too many bumblebees in the butt for the role as a substitute. From the club side there was only the announcement to keep the feet still and that we would talk again in December. This did not happen, ”said Müller. The 2014 world champion came into the train under Kovac (now BVB trainer) in 60 games, and he reaches eleven goals and 22 templates. In October, the Croatian mistake in dealing with the Bayern icon between July 2018 and November 2019. His statement at the time that Müller “certainly also gets his minutes when there was need to be on the man” was misleading. He didn’t mean that and “simply wasted”.
Müller’s future was again a topic before Bayern’s Bundesliga game this Friday at VfB Stuttgart (8:30 p.m.). Trainer Vincent Kompany said that the public debates “do not belong to our decision -making process”. At the moment there has been no conversation with Müller. “That’s why there is not much to say about the next season.”

You will find a decision with Müller. “That Thomas Bayern is Munich is so. He is unique at all levels, ”said sports director Max Eberl in the press conference on the Stuttgart game. Müller distinguishes that he still wanted to play football successfully despite the old age, despite the incredible merits, despite the incredible success “.
Bayern Honorary President Uli Hoeneß recently spoke of the fact that with Müller “the next few weeks of discussions”. The best for both sides must be explored. However, according to Hoeneß, it is “not worthy of a great career” if a player like Müller would only be a substitute. At the same time, Hoeneß would be happy if an identification figure, like Müller, would have been preserved to the club after the active career. “I would welcome it. Thomas is suitable for me to do every job with a certain start -up time at Bayern. ”
