Thomas Muller To Leave Bayern Munich At End Of Season

Germany midfielder Thomas Muller confirmed on Saturday that he was set to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season.

Muller, who holds the all-time Bayern appearance record with 743 matches, will bring an end to his 25-year association with the German giants, having joined the academy in 2000.

In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Muller said, “The club has consciously decided not to negotiate a new contract with me for next season.

“Even if this did not correspond to my personal wishes, it is important that the club follows its convictions. I respect this step, which the board and supervisory board certainly did not take lightly.”

The 35-year-old made his Bayern senior debut in 2008 and has won 12 Bundesliga titles, including 11 in a row.

He also has two Champions League wins and six DFB-Pokal titles during his 17 seasons at Bayern.

Muller is third on the all-time goal-scorer list for Bayern with 247 goals behind Gerd Muller (565) and Robert Lewandowski (344).
