The club remained firm in their position not to offer the player a new deal. Now it’s all about how the decision will be communicated. Müller is upset about the current situation, especially about the fact that the information about his departure was leaked and he learned about it indirectly through the media.

Uli Hoeneß initiated Müller’s departure with his statements last month: “If he’s only a substitute, I would advise him to retire” - Bayern want to further rejuvenate the team and also save salaries. Müller earns up to €17m gross per year, making him one of the top earners.

Bayern Munich favorite Thomas Müller could be about to end his career as media reports suggest the club will not extend his contract at the end of the season. The 35-year-old Müller’s current deal runs only through June and both SportBild and Kicker magazine were reporting that Bayern would prefer to save his considerable wage packet than offer him a new one.
