Thomas Muller: Bayern Munich Suggests Retirement Over Salary
Bayern Munich and Thomas Müller have mutually decided not to extend his contract beyond the current season, marking the end of his illustrious 17-year tenure with the club.
This decision is influenced by Müller’s limited playing time this season—starting only eight Bundesliga matches—and his substantial annual salary of €17 million.
Former club president Uli Hoeneß has suggested that Müller should consider retirement if he continues to serve primarily as a substitute. However, Müller has expressed a desire to continue playing and has received offers for roles such as a TV pundit.
The club plans to honor his contributions with a testimonial match and has proposed alternative roles within the organization post-retirement.
