Bayern Munich legend Thomas Müller has announced that the club will not offer him a new contract, putting an end to his glittering 25-year career with the Bundesliga giants at the end of the campaign.
The 35-year-old, whose contract is set to expire in the summer, said in a post on social media on Friday that the decision was made by the club and “not what I would have wished”.
A one-club player, Thomas Müller played 743 matches for Bayern in all competitions and is the most in the team’s history. He has also registered 247 goals and 273 assists for the club in that time.
Müller rose through the Bayern junior system and has won two Champions Leagues titles, along with 12 Bundesliga titles. His focus will now be “bringing the league title back to Munich” as well as reaching this season’s Champions League final, which will be held in Bayern’s stadium, Allianz Arena.
