Bayern's Time Ticking Away for Müller Extension, as Per Hoeneß
In a recent interview with ServusTV, FC Bayern München's honorary president Uli Hoeneß hinted at the imminent extension of Thomas Müller's contract. Discussing the subject during the "Sport und Talk aus dem Hangar-7" segment, Hoeneß stated that an announcement regarding Müller's extension was only a matter of "days or hours" away.
"It's in the best interests of the entire club that Thomas stays with us," explained the long-serving Bayern boss. Sporting director Christoph Freund, who was also present at the show, echoed Hoeneß's statement, adding that while an extension had yet to be signed, it was still a possibility.
Currently, Müller's contract with Bayern expires at the season's end. Rumors abound that the club and player have already reached an agreement on an extension, which could be officially announced within the week as a special Christmas gift for the fans.
Müller, a Bayern stalwart since his youth, has seen fewer on-field appearances this season under coach Thomas Tuchel but demonstrated his value by returning to the starting lineup for Bayern's recent 3-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Müller's contract extension, one thing remains clear – Bayern continues to dominate the Bundesliga and top-tier European soccer, with fierce competition against rivals Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
