The Bayern official added: "What unfortunately happens in sports happened. Thomas' playing time was still extensive in the first half of the season, but then it dropped rapidly. And then we in the sporting management, together with Christoph Freund and Vincent Kompany, thought about what the squad should look like for the future, how we should deal with players, and whose contracts we wanted to extend. At some point, we in the sporting management made a decision where we said, okay, we don't want to extend the contract."
Getty ImagesWHAT NEXT FOR THOMAS MULLER?
There was no word on retirement in Muller's farewell post, suggesting he will continue beyond his Bayern days. A move to Saudi Arabia or the MLS may be in the cards for the German. For now, he will aim to end his journey with the Bavarian club with at least one trophy, with Kompany's men in contention for the Bundesliga and the Champions titles.
