A painful farewell is on the horizon in Munich. Thomas Müller will bring his time at Bayern Munich to an end at the end of the current season. The German player’s contract expires in June, and the Munich club has decided not to renew it.
At 35 years old, Müller has taken a backseat this season, although he remains a relevant piece within the team. So far, the German has played 1260 minutes in 35 games, in which he has scored five goals and provided five assists.
However, according to several German media outlets like Bild and Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich has decided not to extend his contract. In this way, the end of Thomas Müller in the Bavarian team is a reality, and he is already living his last days with the Munich team’s jersey.
Bayern Munich’s decision based on salary cap
The German media outlet ‘Kicker’ points out that this decision not to renew Müller is mainly due to the need to save on the salary cap. Despite his role as a reliable substitute, he still has one of the highest-paid contracts on the team.
Müller is a legend in the German club. He joined Bayern’s first team in 2008 and, since then, has won twelve Bundesliga titles and two Champions League titles, among other achievements. In fact, on the occasion of the club’s 125th anniversary, he was chosen in the all-time best eleven of Bayern.

Müller eyes MLS move
Thomas Müller wants to make the leap to MLS in search of new experiences, after a career in which he has become a legend of the Bavarian club, according to Bild.
Thomas Müller, who has spent his entire career at Bayern Munich, is one of the last “one club men” in European soccer, an emblem of the team and the Bundesliga. However, the end of his contract in the summer opens the door for the German to fulfill his dream of playing in MLS. An option that has always caught his attention.
Thomas Müller wants to make the leap to MLS and could close his career in a different way, taking his experience and talent to the United States and, at the same time, enjoying a new challenge before his final retirement. This step would be a significant change for the German international, who already has in mind what his “American adventure” would be like.
