Bayern Munich's President Hainer Hopes for Müller's Swift Future Agreement
In an optimistic tone, Bayern Munich's president Herbert Hainer hinted at a potential agreement for star player Thomas Müller (34) in the near future. During his interview on "Bild-TV" on Sunday, Hainer revealed, "Thomas is well-aware of the value he holds in Bayern, and we're equally aware of what Thomas offers us. I can also envision that this could happen quite promptly."
The impending expiration of Müller's contract at the end of the season coincides with Manuel Neuer's contract extension until June 30, 2025. Neuer, a fellow homegrown talent and former teammate of Müller, sealed his new deal following his successful comeback from a complicated leg fracture. Hainer expressed his hope for a similar future for Müller, stating, "Thomas is a deserving player. We all wish him to continue his illustrious career within the famed Munich ranks. We're in negotions with him, and, honestly, I'm rooting for Thomas Müller to stay with us."
Shared Glory, Unequal Impact
Müller and Neuer have shared a storied history, claiming treble victories together in 2013 and 2020. However, amidst a shift in tactics by current coach Thomas Tuchel, Müller's playing time has diminished. Regardless, the international aims to continue his football journey beyond this upcoming summer.
Facing the possibility of a free transfer at the end of the season, Hainer was asked about the prospect. He confessed, "Obviously, it's not favorable to see Müller donning another club's jersey. But I have faith that such a scenario will not materialize either." Instead, Bayern's aspirations lie in holding on to "an icon" like Müller even past his playing career.
Uncertainty Looms
According to the latest enrichment data, Müller's contract is scheduled to expire at the end of the 2024-2025 season. Recent rumors suggest that Bayern Munich has proposed a new contract extension until 2026. However, Müller himself has expressed doubts about his future with the club, suggesting that his decision will depend on his fitness and personal feelings.
