Muller to leave Bayern after Club World Cup

Thomas Muller has announced he will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the 2024-25 season.

The club’s record appearance maker, Muller will end his 25-year association with Bayern following the conclusion of the expanded Club World Cup in the United States.

The veteran forward, who joined Bayern as a 10-year-old in 2000, has gone on to make 743 appearances for the club, while winning 12 Bundesliga titles, the Champions League twice and DFB-Pokal on six occasions.

And the 35-year-old hopes to bow out by adding to the 33 trophies he has won with the club.

“It’s clear that today is not like any other day for me,” he said. “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. Let’s do it together!”
