It is official!
Thomas Müller (30) has extended his contract with Bayern until 2023. The record champion announced.
Müller: “For me it was number one priority to extend at Bayern – and the club saw it the same way. I’m already at FC Bayern for a good two thirds of my life, so you can’t say that I accompany the club or he accompanies me – we fight for each other. For me, this association is not just any employer. He is my passion. “
Müller has been part of Munich’s professional squad since 2009. The original contract ran until 2021. BILD had already reported on April 1 that Müller and Bayern agreed until 2023.
Sports director Hasan Salihamidžić (43): “I am happy that we were able to agree with Thomas. (…) We know what we have in him. However, Thomas also knows what he has at Bayern. It just fits, we didn’t have to have long talks and we’re all happy that things will continue like this until 2023. ”
Since the change of coach to Hansi Flick (55), Müller has been a regular player with the Munich team, scored six times in the league (plus 12 assists), most recently in the 2-0 win over Augsburg in early March. Things looked different under coach Niko Kovac (48). After his “Not am Mann” statement, Müller considered leaving Munich. Even in winter, when Flick had long since taken over, these mind games weren’t off the table yet. Now it is you!
Bayern board member Oliver Kahn (50): “We are happy to have such an identification figure as Thomas Müller in the club. He has shaped the club for more than ten years with great football and his likeable manner. Through his successes with FC Bayern and with the German national team, Thomas is known all over the world. And with its lightness it transports a lot of what FC Bayern stands for and wants to stand for. ”
Müller won with Bayern and others eight times the German championship, five times the DFB Cup and the Champions League (2013). In 2014 he was part of the team of national coach Jogi Löw, who became world champion in Brazil.
The native Oberbayer from Weilheim completed his 500th competitive game for the German record champions at the 1: 5 in Frankfurt in early November 2019. It was the last game in Niko Kovac’s tenure …
