Written By Albert Echatah

Thomas Muller will depart Bayern Munich this summer after 25 years at the German powerhouse.

More Details

With 743 appearances and counting, the 35-year-old will complete his tenure as the club’s record appearance maker.

He has won 33 titles. Due to his limited playing time this season, Muller’s contract was expiring in the summer, and there was a lot of speculation about the 35-year-old’s future.

Muller’s departure was confirmed by Bayern on Saturday, and the forward issued the following statement: “It’s clear that today is not like any other day for me.

“My 25 years as an FC Bayern Munich player will come to an end in the summer. It’s been an incredible journey, shaped by unique experiences, great encounters and unforgettable triumphs.

“I feel immense gratitude and joy that I got to make this career with my beloved club. The special connection to the club and our fantastic fans will always remain.

“What I want as a farewell should be clear: titles we can celebrate together, and moments we’ll remember fondly for a long time.

“We’re going to give our all in the coming weeks to bring the league title back to Munich and reach our coveted ‘Finale Dahoam’. Let’s do it together!”

Muller enrolled at Bayern Munich’s academy at the age of ten. Since then, he has contributed 273 assists and 247 goals. The forthcoming Club World Cup, which will be held in the USA from June 15 to July 13, will be the final appearance of the two-time triple winner and world champion wearing a Bayern Munich shirt.

Muller had the “fairytale” Bayern career, according to President Herbert Hainer.

He stated: “Thomas Müller is the definition of a Bavarian fairytale career; he grew in Bavaria and with Bayern. From Ammersee to the Allianz Arena, as far as Asia and America.

“Nobody has won more Bundesliga titles, and 33 trophies in total so far speak volumes. He ranks among the most outstanding personalities in FC Bayern history.”
