Future of Bayern-icon Thomas Müller in danger: does he stay or does he go?

The future of Thomas Müller at Bayern Munich remains uncertain. The 35-year-old, who has already played 817 games for the club in his impressive career, has no contract extension. His current contract ends after this season, and despite its immense importance for the club, there has been no offer to continue his career among Munichers. As Berlin Live reported, the club sports director Max Eberl recognized the outstanding role of Müller and confirmed that discussions about a contract extended were planned. However, these conversations should be short and concise, with the simple question of whether Müller wants to continue or not.

The worries about Müller's future are all the more relevant because he was largely from the bank this season and was only used sporadically, especially due to injuries from other players. In the last games, however, he showed that he can still play a crucial role in the team. According to Yahoo Sports this could be the last season for Müller as a professional, but a final decision is still pending. In view of his status as a club legend, his whereabouts at Bavaria are traced by fans and those responsible. Farewell to this popular player could be one of the most serious decisions for the German record champion.

The coming weeks are decisive for FC Bayern Munich and Thomas Müller. While the discussions about a possible contract extension take place, it remains to be seen whether the player himself expresses the wish to continue his career in Munich. With a home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Müller may be challenged again, especially since Jamal Musiala is not in the squad.
