Thomas Müller is a German professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Bayern Munich and the Germany national team.
Born on September 13, 1989, in Weilheim in Oberbayern, Germany, Müller rose to prominence at Bayern Munich, winning numerous titles including five Bundesliga championships and four DFB-Pokal trophies.
He has also won the FIFA Club World Cup with the club in 2020.
At the international level, Müller has represented Germany over 100 times, scoring 40 goals and participating in three World Cups.
In recent seasons, Müller’s role in the team has been pared back, with him spending much of this campaign as a substitute. The club recently signed several new players, including Jamal Musiala, Joshua Kimmich, and Manuel Neuer, to new contracts, which may have contributed to the decision not to extend Müller’s deal.
Bayern have announced that they will give Müller a farewell testimonial match, with his last appearances with the team set to be at this summer’s FIFA Club World Cup. His last home game in Munich could be on May 10 against Borussia Mönchengladbach or potentially the Champions League final on May 31.
Müller has stated that the club made a conscious decision not to negotiate a new contract with him for next season, even if it was not in line with his personal wishes. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunities he had at Bayern and his desire to continue playing football, but did not rule out continuing his career at another club.
Müller’s departure marks the end of an era for Bayern Munich, but his legacy will live on. He is one of the most successful players in the club’s history, and his achievements on the pitch will be remembered for generations to come.
