Thomas Müller will play his last games as a professional of FC Bayern this season. After the “Sport Bild” spoke of a tendency in this direction during the week, the “reports”Kicker“Now with reference to your own research that the record player does not get a new working paper.
According to the information from the magazine, Müller has known for some time that he has no future as a Bayern professional. Accordingly, there was a conversation between sports director Max Eberl and the player side about two weeks ago. The decision to say goodbye to Müller – at least as a professional player – is that of the association. Müller himself would have liked to hang up a year, it is said.
As a reason why the time of the deserved offensive player ends with the Munich team, Müller’s salary or a possible financial bottleneck is mentioned at Bayern. According to “kicker”, only the entry fee of 30 million euros at the new club World Cup prevents the financial year 2024/25 with a balance sheet minus. Müller receives a gross salary of 17 million euros in Munich.
To date, Müller has played 742 competitive games for the record champions. No other professional comes to the native of Weilheim. With Sepp Maier and Oliver Kahn, two goalkeepers follow in the squares. Compared to the best -placed field player behind Müller, namesake Gerd Müller, he has 111 operations more on the account. Manuel Neuer with the second most Bayern missions among the currently still active professionals is located with 554 games in the sixth and Joshua Kimmich with 431 games in 14th place (to the players with the most Bayern missions).
A farewell game should be contractually fixed for Müller. On the other hand, it is still open whether he wants to continue his career elsewhere. As certain, although not yet agreed, Müller at FC Bayern can also rely on a career in a different function away from the square.
