Bayern put Muller on hold, eager to relieve the budget - Man United to the rescue?

A whole life in one club - few can boast of that. And in such a club... If it were up to Thomas Muller, he would have finished his career in Bayern Munich, he would not have gone anywhere in the fall of his footballing journey. He would sign another contract and end his career where he started it.

However, it is a very real possibility that in his late playing years he will be "forced" to wear the jersey of another club, because Thomas Muller has no intention of hanging his boots on a peg after the European Championship in Germany. He still wants to play and that decision creates a problem for the Bavarians.

The icon of the Munich club said unequivocally that it is not time to retire. Not this summer. The plan is to play until 2025, and Bild writes he could continue his career at Manchester United. But the whole story is still farfetched, as Muller will wait a little longer for Bayern's offer.

"I definitely want to play one more year after 2024, that's my plan. I'm still having fun on the field, I hope it shows", said Thomas.

The German striker's plans do not fit into Bayern's. The champion of Germany wants to relieve the budget, and Muller's salary is a heavy burden. It amounts to 20,000,000 euros gross, which is 11,000,000 net or in the rank of the highest paid players of Real Madrid. And, he is 34 years old and can no longer affect the situation on the pitch like he used to...

Bayern have put Muller on hold, a nice way to tell him that they no longer need him at the Allianz Arena. There is no way to offer him a new contract and for now there is no indication that there will be one.

"There is still no report on the 'water level'", Thomas Muller recently explained vividly how things are 'flowing' when it comes to his extension of cooperation with Bayern and added:

"We will wait a few more weeks and then I will be able to comment."

And while the man who won as many as 34 trophies with the Bavarians is waiting, the Munich club is working hard to reach a renewal agreement with Alphonso Davies, who is sought after by Real Madrid, and Leroy Sane. The meetings will be held after the international break, when the players return to the Allianz Arena.

Sane's contract extension talks have stalled, Barca and Real are lurking

It would hit one's ego, making one turn around and walk away. And in the process, slam the door behind him. If the Bavarians do not offer a new contract to Thomas Muller, the winner of the World Cup in Brazil will not need too much time to find a new environment. Manchester United are closely following the development of the situation...

At Old Trafford, they were interested in bringing the German into their ranks, Erik ten Hag put him on the wish list, however, Thomas Muller was not interested then. Now that an extension with Bayern is in serious doubt, a move to United could become a tempting option.

Although, the question is whether the Dutch coach will 'survive' until the summer and continue to lead the struggling English giant. And looking at the situation at the Theater of Dreams, the question is whether Thomas Muller needs something like that in the last year of his career...
