Amid speculation about a possible departure, especially with reported interest from Manchester United, Muller, a World Cup winner in 2014, has chosen to solidify his commitment to Bayern. Rather than letting his original contract expire at the end of the current season, Muller has opted to extend it by another 18 months, extending his remarkable stay at the club to an impressive 25 years.

"I'm happy my journey at FC Bayern is continuing," Muller told the club's official website. "I want to play my part in us remaining successful, both as a team and the whole club.

"It's important to me to be a foundation and to help steer the team in the right direction. I want to excite our fans with goals, helping create goals, my love of the game, my passion for football – and hopefully with many more titles."

Bayern president Herbert Hainer further added:

"Thomas Muller belongs to FC Bayern like the Frauenkirche to Munich. He was born just outside the city, grew up at this club and is already a legend while still playing.

"Very few players achieve that. His career is littered with records in the history books. FC Bayern has been shaped by many people, and there will never again be a player like Thomas Muller."
